#47 - How Google wants to turn prompts into companies - Logan Kilpatrick

Behind the current AI boom is a developer community that both uses and builds powerful tools. Google recently released a wave of new developer-focused AI tools at Google I/O, but one person has gone further: fostering an entire online community.

Google's Logan Kilpatrick joined Sabrina Ortiz on The Deep View Conversations podcast straight from Google I/O, not only to share more insights on the new products but also to draw on his rich quilt of experiences to address the broader AI space, the future of software engineering, the developer community and more. 

While Logan's official role is as a member of technical staff at Google DeepMind, he has become a well-respected voice in the developer community, accumulating over 320K followers on X and constantly engaging with users. Prior to joining Google, Logan worked for NASA, OpenAI, Apple, and other AI startups, making him a builder at his core.  

Topics covered in this episode:

+ 'Vibe coding' compared to agentic engineering

+ The capabilities of Google's new Gemini 3.5 Flash

+ The internal "flywheel" at Google, where teams use AI to accelerate the development of products

+ The differences between AI Studio and Project Antigravity

+ The need for developers to regularly "reset their level of ambition”

If you want to understand the distinction between rapid prototyping and managing million-line production codebases with AI, this conversation will leave you much more knowledgeable about the principles of agentic engineering.
