Building Generative AI Agents with Vertex AI and Flutter

Modern mobile and web applications are evolving beyond static interfaces to include intelligent, conversational agents that can reason and take action. Understanding how to connect powerful cloud-based large language models with a fast, cross-platform frontend is a highly valuable skill for modern developers. This course teaches you how to architect and build intelligent generative AI agents using Vertex AI and the Flutter framework. You will start by understanding the fundamental concepts of AI agents, prompt engineering, and cloud APIs before writing clean Dart code to connect your frontend to state-of-the-art generative models. What you'll learn: Understand the foundational concepts of generative AI, large language models, and agentic workflows; Configure Vertex AI services to securely handle requests from a client application; Design system instructions and implement prompt engineering techniques for predictable agent behavior; Build a responsive Flutter user interface designed for real-time conversational interactions; Implement asynchronous programming in Dart to handle streaming API responses smoothly; Apply structured JSON outputs and basic tool calling patterns to let your AI agent interact with external data. The course guides you step-by-step from core AI terminology and cloud setup to writing clean, maintainable Flutter code. Through written explanations and practical code walkthroughs, you will develop a complete understanding of client-side AI integration. This course is designed for beginning developers, Flutter enthusiasts, and aspiring AI engineers who want to learn the basics of cloud-based AI integration without needing prior machine learning experience.
