Google Generative AI

This component uses Google’s advanced AI to generate text based on your instructions. Think of it as a super-powered word processor that can write stories, articles, summaries, and more, all from simple instructions.

Relationship with Google Generative AI API

This component connects directly to Google’s Generative AI API. This API provides access to several different AI models, each with its own strengths. Nappai uses this component to make it easy for you to use these powerful models without needing to understand the technical details of the API.

Inputs

  • Max Output Tokens: This sets the maximum length of the text the AI will generate. A higher number means longer text. (Think of a “token” as a word or part of a word).
  • Model: Choose which Google AI model to use. Each model has different capabilities. The default (“gemini-1.5-pro”) is a good starting point.
  • Temperature: This controls how creative the AI is. A lower value (like the default 0.1) makes the text more focused and predictable. A higher value makes it more creative and unpredictable. This is an advanced setting; leave it at the default unless you want to experiment.
  • Top P (Advanced): This is an advanced setting that fine-tunes the randomness of the AI’s output. Leave this at the default unless you have a specific reason to change it.
  • N (Advanced): This is an advanced setting that allows you to generate multiple different text outputs for the same input. Leave this at the default unless you need multiple variations.
  • Top K (Advanced): This is an advanced setting that controls how the AI selects words. Leave this at the default unless you have a specific reason to change it.
  • Credential: This is where you select your Google Cloud credentials. Nappai will guide you through setting this up securely. You only need to do this once.

Outputs

The component produces text generated by the Google AI model. This text can then be used by other components in your Nappai workflow, such as a summarizer, a translator, or a component that sends an email.

Usage Example

Let’s say you want to generate a product description for a new widget. You would:

  1. Select the “Google Generative AI” component in your Nappai dashboard.
  2. Enter a prompt like “Write a compelling product description for a new widget that cleans gutters automatically.” in the prompt input field.
  3. Configure the other inputs as needed (you can usually leave them at their default values).
  4. Run the component.
  5. The generated text will be available as output, ready to be used by other components in your workflow.

Templates

This component is used in the following Nappai templates:

  • Basic Prompting (Hello, World)
  • Memory Chatbot
  • AI-Powered Property Description Optimizer
  • Explain SQL results: Use this to understand the results of database queries.
  • Summarizer: Use this to shorten long pieces of text.
  • Other components: Many other Nappai components can work with the text generated by this component to create a complete automation workflow.

Tips and Best Practices

  • Start with the default settings. Experiment with the Temperature setting to control creativity.
  • Clearly and concisely write your prompts for the best results. The more specific your prompt, the better the AI’s output.
  • Test different models to see which one best suits your needs.

Security Considerations

Your Google Cloud credentials are handled securely within Nappai. Never share your credentials with anyone. Nappai uses secure methods to store and access your API keys.
