Overview

Jupyter notebooks, code samples and sample apps for building with Gemini, Imagen, Veo and Chirp through Google Cloud's Agent Platform. Folders cover Gemini starters and function calling, Agent Search, RAG and grounding, vision, audio and environment setup. It needs a Google Cloud account, and the README says the code is demonstrative and not an officially supported Google product.

How to choose

Check the date: guides older than a year often use APIs that changed.
Prefer material with runnable notebooks or repos over slides.
Pick by level: curricula start from zero, cookbooks assume you already build.
