Hands-on practitioners will get to use the Python SDK to run the PaLM API for text, code, and embedding models, along with some examples on prompt designing. Catering to industry-specific use-cases, you will get to run some advanced notebooks which will delve deeper into using foundational models along with other components to build the solution for the industry-use case. This session is intended to cover intermediate to advanced topics for Generative AI and provide you with hands-on experience. The attendees will also get to work with Google AI Specialists to design and discover your business use-cases in a collaborative manner.

This can be used as an alternative to implementing the geofire library across all your target platforms for storing data, saving you time.
