AI Agent with Gemini
As the AI landscape rapidly evolves, a particularly exciting development is the rise of AI agents. These aren't just simple chatbots; they are sophisticated systems where advanced language models actively manage their operations and use various tools to achieve specific goals, all under a developer’s direction and supervision. Gemini 2.0 Flash combines multimodal input, enhanced reasoning, and natural language understanding to create images. Gemini 2.0 Flash is creating new possibilities for developers to build AI agents.
In this session, you will learn about the key components of an AI agent: model, tools, and reasoning. Next, you will learn how to build and deploy an agent using the Gemini 2.0 Flash and Vertex AI SDK.
