Hey gurus, thought I check if anyone has played around with Google’s Firebase Studio. I’ve prototyped a responsive dashboard with AI generated mocked data and would love to make it functional. I’ve been trying to read the documentation and I guess with my limited coding experience (though solid on product ideation and design), it’s been taking me long. Anyone with some condensed document that I can follow so can get this to a functional state? Brandon, I’ve checked some of your videos but couldn’t find something close. Looking forward

I just downloaded this and am going through it. Of all the free "AI PDFs" that I have downloaded this might be the best. I thought some of you might enjoy going through it. Cheers! https://www.databricks.com/resources/ebook/big-book-generative-ai

You can now build your own real-time voice assistant agent that manages your Google Calendar—just by talking to it. In this new video, I’ll walk you through a complete ADK workflow that: ✅ Uses the gemini-2.0-flash-live model for fast voice interaction ✅ Creates, moves, and deletes events in Google Calendar ✅ Integrates with a FastAPI backend for full control ✅ Runs on a custom website (not just the default ADK UI) This agent can tell you what’s on your schedule, add events with natural language, and even fix mistakes on the fly. It’s one of the most powerful use cases I’ve built with ADK—and now you can build it too. Perfect intro project if you want to master real-world voice agents.
