What it does
This collection from Google Cloud shows, through worked examples, how to use its generative AI services. It includes notebooks (documents mixing code and explanation), code samples and sample apps.
Folders cover the Gemini models, building search engines, letting AI look things up in your data, image and video generation with Imagen and Veo, and speech with Chirp. There's also a guide to setting up your environment and a list of blogs and videos.
It links to many related Google projects, such as agent templates and sample agents.
