Building in the Gemini Era – Kat Kampf & Ammaar Reshi, Google DeepMind
Takeaway
Gemini 3 plus Nano Banana Pro inside AI Studio collapses prototype-to-shipped-app and design-to-image workflows into single prompts.
Summary
- Showcases Gemini 3 Pro (state-of-the-art on internal SWE agent harness, strong design/UI generation in one-shot) and Nano Banana Pro image model (Google-search-grounded, accurate text rendering, up to 14 consistent people in a group shot).
- Demos AI Studio's 'Build' vibe-coding experience: prompt-to-app with AI 'chips' for Google Search grounding, Maps grounding, Live API; shared apps consume visitor AI Studio quota (no API-bill surprises).
- Live-codes a personalized comic-book generator using Nano Banana Pro consistency and text rendering, plus a slick shader-animation website to demonstrate Gemini 3's design sensibility (explicitly avoiding 'AI purple gradient' aesthetic).
- Pitches AI Studio as the easiest on-ramp into the Gemini API with free quota and rich tool/grounding features.

Original description
A deep dive into the latest capabilities of Google DeepMind's Gemini 3 and the newly released "Nano Banana Pro" image model within Google AI Studio. Kat and Ammaar demonstrate "vibe coding"—a new paradigm where complex, aesthetic, and functional applications are built entirely through natural language prompts. They highlight how Gemini 3 excels at one-shot UI design and agentic tool use, while Nano Banana Pro integrates world knowledge and precise text rendering. The session concludes with live demos ranging from personalized comic books to a (mostly working) multiplayer racing game, emphasizing a future where software creation is democratized through full-stack AI runtime environments.
