⏱3-Hour Hands-On

02>ABOUT THE EVENT

From Vibe Coding to Vibe Engineering

There are countless AI tools, IDEs, agents, and models available today. Having options is powerful, but too many tools without direction often leads to confusion and shallow "vibe coding."

Anyone can generate code with AI. But real engineers know how to orchestrate AI systems effectively, choosing the right model, IDE, workflow, and architecture at the right stage of development.

In this 3-hour hands-on session, you'll learn how to practice Vibe Engineering: the art of combining AI tools with engineering thinking to build and deploy a real SaaS product at almost zero cost.

From idea validation and spec engineering to UI generation, backend development, debugging, deployment, and optimization, this session will show you how modern developers use AI as a powerful engineering partner instead of just a code generator.

YOU'LL LEARN

How to choose the right AI model for different tasks

Which AI IDEs and tools are actually useful

Spec engineering and structured prompting

Building fullstack apps with AI assistance

Debugging AI-generated code effectively

Using free-tier infrastructure and services

Deploying a SaaS product with minimal cost

The difference between "vibe coding" and "vibe engineering"

04>SETUP GUIDE

Configure Your Environment

Follow these steps carefully before the session begins.

4.1 —Firebase MCP Setup

Cloud Authentication & Server Runtime

Open MCP Settings in Antigravity IDEtop-right corner > ⋯ > MCP Server

In the top-right corner of Antigravity IDE, click the ⋯ (three-dot menu), then select MCP Server to browse and install available MCPs.

Install Firebase MCP

From the MCP panel, find and install the Firebase MCP. Firebase will be configured automatically once installed.

Open Firebase Console

Visit the Firebase Console to create your project.

→ Open Firebase Console

Create a Firebase Project

In the console, create a new Firebase project. Then navigate to: Authentication → Sign-in method → Enable Google OAuth (found under the Security tabs).

Install Firebase CLI

Run the following command in your terminal:

npm install -g firebase-tools

Authenticate via Terminal

Authenticate your terminal with Firebase using:

firebase login --no-localhost

Follow the prompts in your browser to complete login.

✅ Firebase MCP is now fully set up.

4.2 —Supabase MCP Setup

Database & Edge Functions integration

Open Command PaletteCtrl + Shift + P

In Antigravity IDE, press Ctrl + Shift + P to open the command palette.

Find Supabase MCP

Search for MCP in the palette. You'll see Supabase listed — click it. If it shows an Authenticate button, click it and complete the OAuth flow.

Create a Supabase Project

During authentication, you'll be prompted to connect a Supabase project. Head to Supabase and create a new project. Open it once created.

→ Open Supabase Dashboard

Get Your API Keys (if not auto-fetched)

If the IDE doesn't auto-fetch keys, do the following inside your project: Left Sidebar → Settings (very bottom) → API Keys tab. Copy the Publishable Key and Secret Key shown on the right.

Add Keys to Your .env File

In Antigravity IDE, create a .env file at the project root if it doesn't exist. Paste your keys:

NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=your_supabase_url
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=your_publishable_key
SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY=your_secret_key

Get Supabase URL

At the top of your Supabase project page, click the Connect button. Your project URL and all connection strings are shown there.

✅ Supabase MCP is now fully set up.
