Generative AI is quickly becoming the next big wave of technology, promising massive productivity gains across the enterprise. And here is the best news, everything you need to meet 90% of the Generative AI related business needs out there for the foreseeable future is already available on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). In this presentation, I will show you how to tap into this Generative AI powerhouse of a platform and make the most of it for your organization.

This is not a discussion about how to chat with ChatGPT and get it to say something funny or weird. This is a real discussion about how to infuse your backend and applications with game changing logic capabilities that simply were not possible just a couple years ago. In this presentation, we will talk about the capabilities of Generative AI and the amazing suite of Generative AI related services available on GCP. We will explore diverse methods of applying Vertex AI, with an emphasis on leveraging tools such as Langchain and Unstructured. Our primary focus will be on one of Generative AI's most frequent applications: efficiently processing and utilizing unstructured data.
