Attendees discovered the future of the seamless, AI-driven development workflow in Joshua's session, "AI-powered App Development with Firebase Studio and MCP."

He encouraged immediate action and utility, advising: "Build something people will find useful. Start today." The session focused on how Firebase Studio, Google's integrated AI workspace, combines with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to automate complex tasks. Participants saw how to move from prototyping a full-stack app with a single prompt to managing Firestore data and user authentication using simple conversational commands, dramatically accelerating the development process. —

👀 New Product Release

Google just unveiled Antigravity, their new agentic development platform!

This isn't your average IDE—it's evolving the development environment into an agent-first future, powered by the new Gemini 3 model.

Antigravity uses agents that can autonomously plan and execute complex software tasks, interacting with your code editor, terminal, and even the browser! It's like having an active AI coding partner.

Check out how this could change the way we build apps!

PS. This is an experimental product, please read the article for more details.

📣 New Flutter & Dart versions

Flutter 3.38 and Dart 3.10 have dropped with amazing improvements to make building beautiful apps even faster and cleaner! Here are the top 3 key updates you should check out:

⚡️ Dart 3.10's Dot Shorthands: Write less and code more! This new syntax allows you to omit redundant type names (like writing .start instead of MainAxisAlignment.start), making your Dart code super concise and robust.

💻 Web Development Enhancements: Developing for the web is smoother than ever with a new configuration file for flutter run and support for proxy settings. Plus, they've improved hot reload capabilities for the web!

🤖 AI Integration and Tooling: It's now easier to build with AI! The release includes a sample app with Firebase AI logic and the introduction of the Gemini CLI extension to help you integrate AI features like multi-modal content generation into your apps.

📣 Flutter PH at DevFest

JL shared his talk about improving your developer productivity by leveraging Gemini CLI for your Flutter projects.

📢 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗭𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝗮 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱

𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗗. 𝗡𝗲𝗰𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗼 takes the stage with her session—“𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗚𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶 𝗖𝗟𝗜”

He showcased how developers can boost productivity and streamline their Flutter development using the power of Gemini CLI.

He emphasized the importance of using AI wisely:

“AI agents can help us create prototypes faster and automate repetitive stuff, and focus on the work that truly matters. I don't let AI overtake everything that I do—always review and evaluate the results generated by AI.”

📍We’re in Zamboanga today!

Joshua presented how you can use Firebase Studio and MCPs so you can be productive with your development workflows.

See you if you are around!

📢 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗭𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝗮 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱

𝗝𝗼𝘀𝗵𝘂𝗮 𝗱𝗲 𝗚𝘂𝘇𝗺𝗮𝗻 takes the stage with her session—“𝗔𝗜-𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗖𝗣”

He walked the audience through how AI-powered tools can transform development workflows, making app building faster, smarter, and more efficient.

He left the crowd with an impactful insight:

“Use AI or provide coding to your advantage as if you’re a pilot…They’re not flying the plane the entire time especially if it’s a 24-hour flight. They have access to the controls but then they have to have a sort of a foundation. Just try to understand the language first then you should be able to leverage our AI tools.”
