Codelabs to explore
What is a codelab? Google Codelabs are free, step-by-step guided tutorials hosted at codelabs.developers.google.com. Each one is scoped (typically 30–90 minutes), written by Google engineers, and updated as products evolve. They are the highest-signal way to go deep on a single Google tool. Now is the right moment — you have credits, a working setup, and momentum.
Antigravity
- Getting Started with Google Antigravity The canonical first codelab for Antigravity. Beginner-friendly. Recommended if you want to retread the IDE setup with more depth.
- Build and Deploy to Google Cloud with Antigravity Closest to what you just did, formalized. A good sanity check that you understood the pattern.
- Authoring Google Antigravity Skills Write your own skills. The next step if Superpowers got you curious about extending the AI assistant.
- Spec-Driven Development in Antigravity Maps closely to the Superpowers planning → spec → implement loop, applied directly inside Antigravity.
MCP servers
- Getting Started with Google MCP Servers Google's official starting point for MCP. Pairs naturally with the bonus step in this guide.
- Deploy a Secure MCP Server on Cloud Run Take the local MCP server you built in the bonus track and put it on the cloud, with auth.
Agents (ADK)
- Building AI Agents with ADK: The Foundation First codelab in the ADK series. Sets up a single conversational agent on Gemini and explains the core ADK loop.
- Tools Make an Agent: From Zero to Assistant with ADK Build a software-bug assistant by progressively adding tools, including MCP. Concrete and practical.
- From Prototypes to Agents with ADK Bridges the gap from "I have an idea" to "I have a deployable agent."
- Getting Started with MCP, ADK and A2A Combines all three concepts in one project — build a currency agent that talks to other agents over the A2A protocol.
Frameworks & protocols
- Model Context Protocol Spec, SDKs, and example servers for the protocol the bonus track uses.
- Superpowers (the AI coding framework) Ask your instructor for the current install instructions; the framework is evolving fast.
