Welcome to Firebase Demo Day 2024
We just released 8 bite sized demo videos to showcase how Firebase helps you build and run AI-powered apps. We’ll show you how to use new Firebase products and features like Firebase Genkit, Vertex AI in Firebase, Gemini in Firebase and Firebase App Hosting, to build AI features into your existing applications, monitor their performance, and create great experiences for your users.
To bring these concepts to life, we’ll take you on an app dev journey through Compass, our sample travel app. We’ll demonstrate how you can use Firebase to create features like personalized recommendations, smart itineraries, AI-powered chatbots, and more. Follow along as we highlight how you can leverage Firebase tools to add the same cutting-edge functionality to your own apps.
Demos to build AI-powered features
Watch as we transform our travel app with the power of Firebase and AI. Our build demos show you how to build and deploy AI features with new Firebase products like Vertex AI, Genkit and Firebase Hosting, all while leveraging Firebase’s fully managed infrastructure to get to market quickly and securely.
Call Gemini from your Android app
Integrate the power of Gemini directly into your Android app using the native Vertex AI in Firebase SDK for Android to make calls to Gemini.
Call Gemini from your iOS app
Use the native Vertex AI in Firebase SDK for Apple platforms to make calls to Gemini, construct a chat, and run inference on files stored in Firebase Storage.
Implementing Retrieval Augmented Generation using Genkit and Gemini
Connect your app’s data for personalized experiences and improved responses by implementing Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) using Firebase, Genkit, and Gemini.
Craft AI apps with Tool Calling
Enhance your app’s functionality with Genkit by using tool calling to connect your app with external APIs, such as a weather service, to provide users with real-time information.
Deploy a Genkit flow with App Hosting
Call a Genkit flow from a Next.js application and deploy it seamlessly to Firebase App Hosting to launch new features quickly.
Demos to run, monitor, and optimize your apps
Use Firebase to launch, monitor, and continuously improve our AI-powered travel app. Our run demos show you how to gain valuable insights with AI Monitoring, automate testing with the AI Testing Agent, and even personalize user experiences with Remote Config, all to help you deliver the best possible app experience.
Monitoring Firebase Genkit in production
Use Firebase AI Monitoring to understand overall feature health, debug stability issues, and identify content quality issues that may indicate problems with your LLM prompts and Genkit Flows.
Firebase AI Testing Agent
Firebase AI Testing Agent automates your app testing to reduce errors and cost, and increase efficiency. All you need to do is write a test goal, and the Agent does the rest.
Rollout AI features with confidence
Use Firebase Remote Config to fine-tune and personalize generative AI features in your app. Change AI prompts or tune model parameters, and use AI assistance in Crashlytics to fix issues in your app faster than ever before.
