Building Generative AI Agents with Flutter and Vertex AI

Modern mobile applications are evolving from static interfaces into intelligent partners capable of understanding and acting on user intent. Integrating generative AI into cross-platform apps is becoming the standard for engaging user experiences. This text-based course guides you through the process of building intelligent, AI-driven agents using Flutter and Vertex AI. You will start by understanding the foundational concepts of generative AI and agentic workflows before diving into practical implementation. By reading through clear explanations and structured code snippets, you will learn how to connect Flutter frontends with powerful cloud-based AI models. What you will learn: 1. Understand the core principles of generative AI, agentic workflows, and large language models. 2. Configure Vertex AI services to build custom, goal-oriented conversational agents. 3. Integrate AI endpoints into Flutter applications using secure and efficient API patterns. 4. Implement function calling to let your AI agents interact with external data. 5. Manage application state seamlessly when handling asynchronous AI responses in Flutter. 6. Apply prompt engineering best practices to ensure reliable and context-aware agent behavior. The course begins with essential terminology and the architectural foundations of AI agents. From there, you will explore step-by-step written tutorials and code walkthroughs that demonstrate how to construct a complete, responsive chat experience. This course is designed for beginner to intermediate mobile developers who want to enter the world of AI integration. No prior experience with artificial intelligence is required, though a basic familiarity with Dart and Flutter is helpful.
