Google Cloud Labs: Accelerate AI with Cloud Run

The AI landscape is evolving beyond simple prototypes, requiring professional engineering for production-grade applications. Google Cloud is relaunching its Accelerate AI with Cloud Run roadshow for 2026, focusing on the full AI agent lifecycle. The "Coffee Shop Journey" is a hands-on experience demonstrating how to build and deploy advanced AI agents on Cloud Run for real business use cases. Participants will learn to deploy basic web apps, build recommendation agents with ADK and RAG, and optimize business locations using Gemma 4 and BigQuery. The curriculum also covers personal productivity assistants and advanced features with Antigravity 2.0, including skills, context, rules, and hooks. Cloud Run is presented as an ideal platform for scalable, production-grade agentic workloads. Hands-on exercises will cover building, scaling, and orchestrating long-running agents using Google's ADK and Antigravity 2.0. Attendees will also learn about data-driven expansion strategies with BigQuery MCP and low-latency inference on GPUs. The roadshow aims to empower participants to move from AI prototypes to powerful, production-ready realities. Workshops are scheduled in various North American cities throughout August, September, October, and November, with registration details provided for early events.
