This folder contains a collection of examples for the Gemini API. These are advanced examples and might be quite complex as they often use one of more Gemini capabilities.

For introductions to those features it is recommended to start with the Quickstarts guides, and the Get started one in particular.

This is a collection of fun and helpful examples for the Gemini API.

Opossum search	Code generation with the Gemini API. Just for fun, you'll prompt the model to create a web app called "Opossum Search" that searches Google with "opossum" appended to the query.	Code generation
Virtual Try-on	A Virtual Try-On application that utilizes Gemini 2.5 to create segmentation masks for identifying outfits in images, and Imagen 3 for generating and inpainting new outfits.	Spatial Understanding
Talk to documents	Use embeddings to search through a custom database.	Embeddings
Entity extraction	Use Gemini API to speed up some of your tasks, such as searching through text to extract needed information. Entity extraction with a Gemini model is a simple query, and you can ask it to retrieve its answer in the form that you prefer.	Embeddings

• Agents and Automatic Function Calling: Create an agent (Barrista-bot) to take your coffee order.
• Classify text with emeddings: Use embeddings from the Gemini API with Keras.
• Guess the shape: A simple example of using images in prompts.
• Object detection: Extensive examples with object detection, including with multiple classes, OCR, visual question answering, and even an interactive demo.
• Search Wikipedia with ReAct: Use ReAct prompting with Gemini Flash to search Wikipedia interactively.
• Search Re-ranking with Embeddings: Use embeddings to re-rank search results.
• Story writing with prompt chaining.ipynb: Write a story using two powerful tools: prompt chaining and iterative generation.
• Tag and Caption images: Use the Gemini model's vision capabilities and the embedding model to add tags and captions to images of pieces of clothing.
• Talk to documents: This is a basic intro to Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). Use embeddings to search through a custom database.
• Voice Memos: You'll use the Gemini API to help you generate ideas for your next blog post, based on voice memos you recorded on your phone, and previous articles you've written.
• Translate a public domain: In this notebook, you will explore Gemini model as a translation tool, demonstrating how to prepare data, create effective prompts, and save results into a .txt file.
• Working with Charts, Graphs, and Slide Decks: Gemini models are powerful multimodal LLMs that can process both text and image inputs. This notebook shows how Gemini Flash model is capable of extracting data from various images.
• Entity extraction: Use Gemini API to speed up some of your tasks, such as searching through text to extract needed information. Entity extraction with a Gemini model is a simple query, and you can ask it to retrieve its answer in the form that you prefer.
  
  

• Personalized Product Descriptions with Weaviate: Load data into a Weaviate vector DB, build a semantic search system using embeddings from the Gemini API, create a knowledge graph and generate unique product descriptions for personas using the Gemini API and Weaviate.
• Similarity Search using Qdrant: Load website data, build a semantic search system using embeddings from the Gemini API, store the embeddings in a Qdrant vector DB and perform similarity search using the Gemini API and Qdrant.
