Modernizing systems and increasing development productivity are still among the biggest challenges companies face today. IBM Bob introduces a new approach: using AI not only to write code, but to optimize the entire development process. The goal is to reduce complexity, accelerate delivery, and transform modernization into a continuous process rather than a one-time effort. Please be aware that attendance is first-come, first-served. This masterclass will be held in EN. 

IBM Bob: AI applied to modernization and development productivity [Hosted by IBM]

The rules of journalism are being rewritten in real time: AI floods the internet with synthetic content, legacy publishers cut deals with tech giants, and trust in media hits historic lows. Leading voices from across the media landscape converge to debate who controls the narrative, who's paying for it, and what AI is doing to the newsroom.

Who owns the truth?

In this codelab, you will build a full-stack, real-time multimodal AI application with an Agent. You will develop a React frontend to capture live video and audio, and a Python backend using Google's ADK to process this data. By establishing a bi-directional WebSocket connection, you will stream the media to the Gemini Live API, which will interpret hand gestures to execute specific commands—a process known as "Tool Calling.". Author: Christina Lin.


A personal computer is required, no late entries permitted. Facilitators will guide the workshop in Portuguese, but all content and support are also accessible in English.
