� Building Autonomous Data Agents with Antigravity and Google Cloud

In this practical, demo-heavy session, explore how to build and orchestrate conversational data agents using Google Antigravity IDE and Google Cloud Data services. We’ll take a live journey from raw datasets in BigQuery and operational databases to an autonomous agent running in Antigravity that can reason across schemas, execute analytical queries, and trigger workflows.

Key Takeaways:

� How to set up and leverage the Antigravity IDE for agentic coding and skill ex*****on

� Grounding conversational agents in BigQuery and structured data stores using Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Data Agent Kit

� Best practices for autonomous verification loops, prompt-based data exploration, and live agent debugging

� Date: September 15

� Time: 8:00 PM (Cairo & Amman Time)

A great throwback to another insightful conversation from DevFest Cairo 2025! 🎥

In this interview, we caught up with Mohammad Fouad, CTO of Tactful, to reflect on his experience taking the DevFest stage and interacting directly with our developer ecosystem.

Here are the key highlights he shared:

Diverse Community Energy: The impressive turnout and healthy mix of talent, from curious students to seasoned industry experts, all sharing the same technical curiosity.

Pure Developer Focus: How DevFest stays grounded in technical depth, providing high-value sessions built by developers, for developers.

Advice for Emerging Talent: In a fast-moving tech environment, shiny trends will come and go. Real growth comes from mastering the fundamentals and consistent, hands-on practice.

The Value of Community: Taking a step away from daily routines to recharge, connect with peers, exchange real-world challenges, and witness firsthand the scale of regional tech talent.

A great throwback to another inspiring conversation from DevFest Cairo 2025! 🎥

In this podcast, Mahmoud Sultan sat down with Youssef Elsayed, Teaching Assistant at AASTMT, Software Engineer at MCS (specializing in ROV and subsea solutions), and one of only 50 selected globally for the GDEr Academy in AI, on his path to becoming the youngest AI Google Developer Expert in Egypt.

Youssef shared valuable perspectives on where autonomous intelligence is heading and what it means for developers:

The Evolution of Agentic AI: How LLMs shifted from simple text generation to tool-use and search capabilities, evolving into scalable autonomous agents capable of orchestrating full frameworks and cross-system integrations.

Why Developers Are Still Essential: Autonomous systems can build isolated components, but managing complete workflows, architectural cohesion, and end-to-end integration still requires deep engineering expertise.

Advice for Undergrads: Treat your university years as a sandbox. Explore different tech tracks, pursue summer internships, and solidify your foundation by building real-world projects hands-on.

A great throwback to one of our favorite conversations from DevFest Cairo 2025! 🎥

In this podcast, Mahmoud Sultan sat down with Tomek Porozynski, Google Cloud Architect and Google Developer Expert (GDE) in Cloud & AI, during his visit to Egypt.

Beyond balancing an action-packed 24-hour trip—pyramids run included—Tomek shared sharp, grounded industry insights:

The Multi-Cloud Mindset: Avoiding vendor lock-in by designing flexible, vendor-agnostic architectures.

AI & The Expert in the Loop: Why AI tools make foundational engineering knowledge more critical, not less.

Hands-on Growth: Starting small, using interactive labs, and turning theoretical knowledge into production reality immediately.
