Generative AI on Google Cloud

The latest Gemini models are available! Try out Gemini 3.8 Flash.

Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, the latest evolution of Vertex AI, has been released!

Check out the Google-Cloud-AI/agent-platform repository for a curated list of assets for agent building on Google Cloud.

This repository contains notebooks, code samples, sample apps, and other resources that demonstrate how to use, develop and manage generative AI workflows using Generative AI with Agent Platform.

Use this folder for information on Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and Grounding. This is an index of notebooks and samples across other directories focused on this topic.
Vision
vision/
Use this folder if you're interested in building your own solutions from scratch using features from Imagen and Veo.
Speech
audio/
Use this folder if you're interested in building your own solutions from scratch using features from Chirp, a version of Google's Universal Speech Model (USM).
Setup Env

What is this?A collection of notebooks, code samples and sample apps for building generative AI on Google Cloud with Gemini and its Agent Platform, the evolution of Vertex AI.
Is this a library I add to my project, or something else?Neither — it's a repo of runnable Jupyter notebooks and sample code you copy or execute, organized into topic folders rather than an installable package.
How do I get the notebooks running?Start with the setup-env/ folder — it walks you through setting up a Google Cloud project, the Gen AI Python SDK, and a notebook environment on Google Colab or Workbench.
Do I need a Google Cloud account to run these?Yes — you need a Google Cloud project with the Gen AI Python SDK, which setup-env/ helps you configure. The code itself is Apache-2.0 free, but it calls Google Cloud services like the Gemini API under your own project.
What will I find inside — only Gemini text examples?No — besides the gemini/ notebooks there's search/ for Vertex AI Search, rag-grounding/ for RAG, vision/ built on Imagen and Veo, and audio/ built on Chirp speech models.
Is this code safe to take straight to production?Not as-is — the disclaimer says the repository is not an officially supported Google product and the code is for demonstrative purposes only.
Where should a beginner start?In the gemini/ folder — it has starter notebooks for discovering Gemini, plus use cases, function calling and sample apps.
Are there ready-made agents, or do I build from scratch?The README points to companion repos: ADK Samples offers ready-to-use agents from simple conversational bots to multi-agent workflows, and the Agent Starter Pack ships production-ready Gen AI agent templates for Google Cloud.
Does it keep up with new Gemini releases?Yes — the README leads with the latest Gemini models (Gemini 3.8 Flash) and the newly released Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, the evolution of Vertex AI.
