Imbila.AI × Google AI

Build with Google AI — from prompts to production

Learn to build with Gemini, Google AI Studio, and Google Cloud AI. From your first prompt to production deployment — guided by Imbila every step of the way.

STEP 1

Explore AI Studio free

Open Google AI Studio in your browser — no setup, no credit card. Start prompting Gemini in seconds.

STEP 2

Join the 4-week Bootcamp

Weekly 3.5-hour workshops with a maximum of 6 participants. Go from starter apps to production-ready builds.

STEP 3

Deploy to Google Cloud

Ship to Cloud Run, Vertex AI, or Firebase. Eligible for up to $350K in Google Cloud startup credits.

The Bootcamp Framework

4 Weeks from Idea to Production

A progressive, hands-on curriculum. Each week builds on the last — so by week 4 you have a real, deployed product running on Google Cloud.

1

Discover

Foundation week. Explore AI Studio, test starter apps, understand Gemini’s capabilities — text, vision, code, and multimodal.

2

Build

Hands-on customisation. Modify real applications, integrate the Gemini API, build your first working prototype.

3

Connect

Infrastructure week. Google Cloud integration, authentication, databases, scaling — the production backbone.

4

Deploy

Launch week. Production readiness, monitoring, monetisation strategy, and your go-live deployment.

Why this structure works: Each week has a clear deliverable. You don’t just learn theory — you ship. By the end of 4 weeks you have a production-ready application, the skills to maintain and extend it, and a path to Google Cloud credits worth up to $350,000.

The Core Programme

Google AI Studio Tutorials

Get started with Google AI Studio and Gemini through these official tutorials — great for previewing what you’ll build in the bootcamp.

How the bootcamp uses these

Before each session: We share tutorials as pre-work so you arrive ready to build — not watch a lecture.

During workshops: We go beyond what tutorials cover — real architecture decisions, production patterns, and debugging live together.

After the bootcamp: Google’s tutorial library and your session recordings become your ongoing reference as you iterate on your product.

Frequently Asked Questions

About the bootcamp, pricing, and what to expect.

A 4-week, hands-on programme where you build a real product using Gemini and Google Cloud. Each week is a 3.5-hour workshop with a maximum of 6 participants. You go from exploring AI Studio in week 1 to deploying a production application in week 4.
Basic coding familiarity is helpful but not strictly required. The bootcamp includes starter code for every session, and the small group size means we can support varied skill levels. If you can navigate a code editor and understand basic concepts like APIs and variables, you will keep up.
All 4 workshops (3.5 hours each), starter code repositories, session recordings, a completion certificate, post-bootcamp community access, and guidance on applying for Google Cloud credits (up to $350K for qualifying startups). Early bird pricing is R25,000 for the first 5 spots.
Yes — individual workshops are R8,000 each. This is ideal if you already have experience and want to focus on specific areas like deployment (Week 4) or Google Cloud integration (Week 3). Each session is designed to deliver standalone value.
Google offers Cloud credits to qualifying startups through programmes like Google for Startups Cloud Program. Depending on eligibility, this can be up to $350,000 in credits. We help bootcamp graduates understand the application process and requirements.
Imbila.AI is an independent consulting studio. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by Google. We teach using Google’s publicly available tools (AI Studio, Gemini API, Google Cloud) and link to Google’s own free courses alongside our paid bootcamp.
We run three AI academies: Claude (Anthropic), OpenAI, and Google AI. Each focuses on a specific platform’s strengths. Many clients work across multiple platforms. The Google AI bootcamp specifically focuses on building production applications with Gemini and Google Cloud infrastructure.
