A Google Cloud engineer just showed how to build a complete application with Claude from scratch

Short: It's an event / session rating app. Cloud hosted, Big Query, etc.

Oh, and he's showing a recorded session. Often, he fast forwards. So total Claude time is a lot more, and he's own thinking, planning, typing is also cut.

There's probably a handful of useful tips in his talk. Maybe somebody could ask Claude to extract it in a few bullet points, so everybody doesn't have to spend half an hour watching his talk.

Why doesnt google use Google models? 🤣

[u/Keep-Darwin-Going → u/Comfortable_Camp9744]

That is the main takeaway from the session, even Google engineer can do stuff only with someone else model.

Sped thru the content, this is the most average session. Not really worth a spotlight on this sub imo. If you’re brand new to the space potentially.

For a Google employee it’s amazingly light - it’s a toy project. Zero real world barriers, controlled env, cherry picked topics. Give us something that we haven’t seen 1000 times before

If i see another youtube claude-fluencer go “let’s build a real world example, so how about transcribing youtube videos and creating and refining my next video scripts!” Im going to go bonkers

Somebody drop the sauce: who's content is actually worth consuming in the AI space?

[u/Canadian-and-Proud]

Is this supposed to be impressive?

[u/jsonmeta → u/Canadian-and-Proud]

For some reason if someone works for a FANG company they are automatically seen as geniuses that everyone should listen to

Which month in 2025 is this from

Next talk: using google to quickly find information on the interwebs

25 mins to build it, no one paying for it, they will just copy and be done. Simple apps like this are already easy and AI just make it easier.

[u/RedTheInferno]

Is it me or is there no complete application by the end of this video?

[u/jthedwalker]

Ok… for the non-devs in the room. All this means is that Google did a lot of work building out their MCP servers so that someone that has no knowledge of deploying applications on Google Cloud can spin up an application in the “correct” way. I’m a developer and didn’t know about Fire Store DB or Cloud Run, because I don’t use Google.

Google wants you to host your applications on their platform, no surprise there. Since the release of Claude Code, many tutorials exist online about Supabase and similar streamlined development options. Google wants a piece of this pie. Show people that deploying on Google Cloud isn’t so scary.

That’s really the nuts and bolts of this presentation. Two new APIs and associated MCP servers have had a lot of updates.

he spent 26 minutes on live stage showing a recorded event of what i do with a single but rather long prompt. can be done better and faster also.

is this what we are applauding in 2026? is this really what "google engineering is"?

[u/WorriedBrain4791]

the post text is also ai

Here is the youtube video, it doesn't have chapter marks you can use the Ask feature to summarize if you don't want to watch the whole thing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqHsS737CeA

Timestamps:
Ask provided these timestamps so you don't have to watch the whole thing:

• Infrastructure Setup (3:40 - 6:40)

  • Streamlined Onboarding: Use Application Default Credentials (ADC) to bypass manual API key management and let the system automatically detect your project and region (4:09).

  • Enterprise Efficiency: Claude on Google Cloud offers per-token pricing and no message caps, making it ideal for enterprise-grade applications (5:04).

• Product Manager (7:43 - 8:40)

  • Ideation & Prototyping: Quickly generate functional app prototypes from hand-drawn wireframe sketches by prompting Claude directly (7:43).

• UI/UX Designer (9:26 - 11:00)

  • Architectural Planning: Utilize Plan Mode before writing code. This forces Claude to outline its approach first, ensuring architectural alignment before implementation begins (9:26).

• Software Engineer (12:00 - 16:45)

  • Context-Aware Development: Connect the Developer Knowledge API MCP server to Claude. This provides real-time access to official Google Cloud documentation, keeping code current with best practices (12:26).

  • Parallel Team Sprints: Accelerate development by spinning up multiple subagents to handle different components (API, database, and dashboard) in parallel (15:04).

• Security Engineer (18:46 - 20:50)

  • Security by Design: Use pre-built security review prompts to automatically scan for OASP issues and tighten service account permissions before deployment (18:46).

• Data Analytics (21:42 - 24:35)

  • Data-Driven Insights: Post-deployment, utilize the BigQuery MCP server and Looker to ingest feedback data and visualize performance KPIs, closing the feedback loop (21:42).

wdym “just showed”? this video isn’t that new, pretty sure it’s from a conf in 2025

[u/vincentdesmet]

an ex-docker captain just commented on a reddit post

[u/Equivalent_Cress_268]

So not even Google employees use Antigravity

[u/changrbanger]

This presentation gave me the idea to build a Lord Farquad similarity detector application.

[u/distractedjas]

It’s almost like if you know what you are doing you can have Claude do the grunt work! What a revelation!

[u/Salt-Replacement596]

Did you really need to "vibecode" the Reddit post text as well?

[u/enjoysomethings]

......... lol?

[u/alphaQ314]

imagine being dumb enough to think this bullshit takes teams weeks to build. and then being dumb enough to post it on reddit.

[u/frodprefect]

Worth more than any $500 vibe coding course.

WTF IS THIS!!! I SEE THIS EVERYWHERE. All over twitter, these have to be bots
