Creating Marketing Assets using Gemini 2.0

Build Smarter with Google Gen AI SDK + Gemini 2.0

Are you curious about how to build next-gen applications using AI that actually work across platforms? Join us for a hands-on workshop where you'll learn how to harness the power of the new Google Gen AI SDK—your all-in-one toolkit for working with Gemini 2.0 across both the Developer API and Vertex AI. With this SDK, you can go from prototype to production without rewriting your code. We'll show you how.

You’ll learn how to go from prototype to production without rewriting a single line of code. Yes, really.

🛠️ What You'll Do

  • 🔍 Extract insights from PDFs using Gemini’s multimodal capabilities

  • 🧠 Use Controlled Generation to ensure structured, reliable outputs

  • 🌐 Ground responses with Google Search to get the most current, relevant info

  • 📢 Create a Gen AI-powered marketing campaign—copy, visuals, and more

  • 💡 Build once, run anywhere with the unified SDK

🎯 You'll Walk Away With

  • ✅ A working Gen AI-powered app

  • ✅ Reusable code that works on both Developer API and Vertex AI

  • ✅ A clearer understanding of multimodal AI, grounding, and structured outputs
