About the Sessions
Join us for two practical sessions (August 12 and August 26) demonstrating how to accelerate scientific and technical computing on Google Cloud by integrating Google AI-powered tools into your daily workflows. On August 12, we'll cover how to leverage Gemini Pro (including Research), NotebookLM, and Agentspace's Deep Research and Idea Generation into your research and planning, and we'll introduce Gemini Code Assist and Gemini Command Line Interface (CLI) tools for use in your development and usage. On August 26, we'll dive deeper into Gemini CLI with creator Taylor Mullen. We will showcase how Gemini Code Assist can supercharge your IDE to generate, complete, and explain complex scientific code, while the Gemini CLI enables you to programmatically provision and manage high-performance infrastructure.
Using examples and demos, you will learn best practices to conduct research, formulate ideas, automate repetitive tasks, reduce manual configuration, and ultimately build more robust and reproducible scientific pipelines, allowing you to focus on discovery, innovation, and productivity. We will show you how to access and use these tools on your own so you can be more productive and innovative right away!
