Building an AI-Powered App with Vertex AI
In the first part of The July Meetup, Donald Isoe introduced the audience to AI 🤖, and how it could be used to build Mobile Apps 📱. Through ItinerarAI, powered by Vertex AI, he showed the attendees what was possible when you know how to utilise AI in your arsenal of tools.

Fire Remix
If the title does not reveal what this month's project is all about, then we do not know what language 💬 we can use to help you understand. Kotlin, perhaps 😉? Jokes aside, we are excited to introduce Fire Remix, the App that will transform your journey in Music. Notice that we said "App" and not "Mobile App". Why? Well, at the time of writing this, Fire Remix is now compatible with Android TV 📺. You know what, please check out the demo here if you do not believe us: https://x.com/ibensalcie/status/1948365584250368249...
