AI for Mobile Developers: Shipping Real Features

Prompts, the Gemini API, on-device models and RAG — explained for someone who has to ship an AI feature inside an app, not write a paper.

What you walk away with

  • Decide where an LLM belongs in your app and where it does not
  • Call a model from an app without leaking keys
  • Stream responses so the feature feels fast
  • Choose between cloud and on-device honestly
  • Handle hallucination and failure in the UI

Every app now has a product manager asking for "something with AI". This track is about doing that without shipping a slow, expensive, unreliable feature.

No model training, no maths. Architecture, latency, cost, privacy and the UI patterns that make a generated answer trustworthy.
