About Event
GDG Shibuya Kickoff: Vibe & Build — From Vibe Coding to Production Agents
Join us for the official kickoff of GDG Shibuya at the Google Shibuya Office! 🚀
GDG Shibuya is an English-speaking Google Developer Group in Tokyo, bringing together international and local developers, researchers, students, founders, and anyone interested in building with Google technologies.
For our first event, we’re exploring one of the biggest shifts happening in AI development today: how do we move from fast experimentation and “vibe coding” to AI agents and applications that are ready for real-world production?
Expect technical talks, practical insights, demos, and plenty of time to connect with Tokyo’s developer community.
