Global-scale cloud computing: The secure, AI-powered platform running on the same infrastructure as Google Search and YouTube.

Google Cloud (GCP) is a comprehensive suite of cloud computing services (IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS), providing the core infrastructure for digital transformation. It operates on Google's global network, spanning over 30 regions and 90 zones, ensuring high availability and low latency . Key products include Compute Engine (VMs), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), BigQuery (serverless data warehouse), and Vertex AI (for enterprise-ready generative AI) . GCP enables organizations to build, deploy, and scale applications efficiently, leveraging Google's expertise in security, data analytics, and cutting-edge machine learning . New customers receive $300 in free credits, plus access to over 25 products for free, up to monthly usage limits .

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [Agentic video editing pipeline](https://montreal.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_5bqTjWicF8s)

After interviewing 50+ video editors, head of marketing, film directors, we found the boring part of the professional video editing job that can be automated. I will demo the main video ingestion workflow: transcode to 480p using ffmpeg, upload that video to GCS, takes some frames and use it for classification, ask gemini to look at the video for video understanding, piping the audio to assemblyai for the transcript, use ffmpeg to segment the video, use gemini embedding on each segment so it is searchable.

### [Adventures in Dark Software Factories and Building Sundai Claw](https://boston.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_rYByyNllwL4)

I will share my adventures trying to build a software factory, and a solution that I landed on that I'm pretty happy with. It's a rapidly evolving space and it seems like every week there's a new project attempting to streamline the process of building software using autonomous AI coding agents. If you've read Dan Shapiro's "The Five Levels" post (https://www.danshapiro.com/blog/2026/01/the-five-levels-from-spicy-autocomplete-to-the-software-factory/), you know about the Fanuc Dark Factory, the robot factory staffed by robots. It's dark because it's a place humans are neither needed nor welcome. As an example of how such a factory can be built, I'll share a concrete use case in building Sundai Claw. Sundai Claw is an OpenClaw agent that you can message via Telegram. You describe your software project in natural language and when you submit a request, the claw agent dutifully begins to create a Sundai.club project card, a Github repo, a spec doc and then builds and deploys the software. This happens completely autonomously, but we're exploring where appropriate human-in-the-loop steps would be helpful to steer the claw agent and refine the specifications before and during building.

### [How We Built a Browser Agent That Won't Go Rogue: A Technical Deep Dive](https://london.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_MQDGdCKY6-I)

This demo is a technical show-and-tell of how we built Fabraix, a browser-native AI assistant designed from the ground up to be trustworthy. I'll walk through the architecture of our Chrome extension, focusing on the interplay between the local agent running in the browser and our core security engine. We'll dive into the code that captures page context in real-time, how we process it securely, and the design decisions we made to prevent the agent from being hijacked, even when connected to sensitive web apps. Expect a live demo of the agent completing a complex task, with a walkthrough of the specific security checks happening at each step.

### [ValueSpotter](https://nyc.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_N_ruuSgF2LY)

We built ValueSpotter to help small businesses, and their financial partners. Insurance adjuster, bankers, lawyers, and auctioneers spend countless hours manually cataloging and valuing assets. That inefficiency drives up costs and delays recoveries. That’s why we built ValueSpotter. In just seconds, our platform uses computer vision to identify items from a simple walk through video. The items are valued using AI services with grounded results providing a low-high range for each item with primary source links.

### [Building AI Agents with Google Cloud AI](https://seattle.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_7k1aSrWuSY4)

Explore Google’s latest generative AI media capabilities with Imagen and Veo on Vertex AI. You’ll learn about model capabilities and how these APIs can be integrated into agentic workflows on Google Cloud. Learn about core agent components and essential prompting techniques to help you effectively harness these powerful models in your applications.

### [Second Axis](https://nyc.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_Gp73c9CO2W8)

Second Axis is a better way to think, collaborate, and stay in flow while working on projects. At the heart of it is the Infinite Canvas — a space where everything stays connected and context is never lost. With Second Axis, you can have multiple chats running in parallel, all deeply linked to your notes, images, videos, and code — everything in one place, everything aware of everything else. Powered by our Super Agent, the whole canvas has shared memory. That means you can move between ideas, tasks, and media without repeating yourself — the system just gets it.

### [Self-hosting LLMs on Google Cloud with GPUs using vLLM](https://amsterdam.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_PacH4objgRg)

Don't want to be depedent on paid APIs for using LLMs? Then self-hosting is the way to go. However, due to the "large" aspect of LLMs it's extremely difficult to self-host them. Everybody talks about self-hosting LLMs but no one actually does it. vLLM is a framework that optimises the hosting of such LLMs 👉 https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm I made a simple tutorial on how to deploy your own GEMMA 2 model on Google Cloud 👉 https://github.com/ThomasVrancken/info9023-mlops/tree/main/demos/04_vllm
