WHAT IS THIS BYTE ABOUT?

In this byte-sized course, we’ll dive into Google's Gemini API using Python. By the end you'll have the skills to:

• Make API calls using Google's Gemini Pro and Pro Vision AI models.
• Understand Gemini multimodal models: Nano, Pro, and Ultra.
• Use Google AI Studio to create freeform prompts using variables and parameters in the prompt.
• Understand Gemini API generation parameters for controlling how the model generates responses.
• Generate text from image and text inputs (Gemini Pro Vision).
• Understand and apply prompt engineering techniques for effective prompting.
• Incorporate AI into your classic apps.

This course will take about 3.5 hours to complete.

WHY IS THIS BYTE AWESOME?

Because you'll not only be learning how to use the Gemini API, but you'll put your skills into action by building three projects using the Gemini API!

Project #1: Conversational AI agent. We’ll create our very own conversational AI agent, just like ChatGPT or Google’s own Gemini interface. Imagine having a virtual assistant that can engage in natural conversations, answer questions, and assist users. Whether you’re building a customer support chatbot or a friendly companion, this project will give you the tools to create intelligent interactions.

Project #2: "Talk to an Image". You’ll give our app any image and then ask questions about it! Want to know what breed of bird is perched on that branch? Or curious about the location of a stunning landscape photo? Just ask! The possibilities are endless. And get this – we’ll wrap it all up by creating a sleek web interface with Streamlit. If you haven’t used Streamlit before, no worries! We’ve got you covered. Check out our ZTM Streamlit byte to get up to speed.

Project #3: AI-powered Image Organizer. Ever been lost in a sea of confusingly named photo files? We’ve all been there. This smart app will actually look at your images, figure out what’s in them (whether it’s a mountain or your adorable pet), and then rename the files for you. Say goodbye to chaos and hello to organization bliss!

Mastering Gemini puts you ahead of the game. This technology could change the world, and those who know how to use it are going to have incredible opportunities. So, let’s dive in and explore the fascinating world of Gemini AI. Ready? Then let's get started already!
