Master Generative AI Studio: A Comprehensive Tutorial by Google

Introduction

Generative AI Studio is a Google Cloud console tool that allows you to quickly test and customize generative AI models, enabling you to leverage their capabilities effectively in your applications.

What We'll Learn

In this tutorial, we'll explore how to perform various tasks using Generative AI Studio, including:

• Testing models using prompt samples.
• Designing and saving our own prompts.
• Converting text-to-speech and speech-to-text.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, ensure you have:

• A Google Cloud account with billing enabled.
• A Google Cloud project with the Vertex AI API enabled.

If you don't have a Google Cloud account, you can create one for free. You may also follow this tutorial that provides a step-by-step guide for creating a Google Cloud account and project.

Let's Get Started

Go to Generative AI Studio. You should see two sections below: Language and Speech.

Language Section

Let's start with the Language section. Click on the Open button to access it. You will find two main areas: Get started and Prompt examples.

If you want to test the model, use the Prompt examples section; if you want to design your own prompt, proceed to the Get started section.

In the Get started section, click on + Text prompt, type "Generate a couple of names for my dog" and hit the Submit button. You will see something like this:

NOTE: You may also save your prompt by clicking on the Save button, which will save it in the My prompts tab.

Next, let’s explore the Prompt examples. Scroll down the page to find Kindergarten Science Teacher card and click on the Open button.

Here, you will see three more windows: Context, Examples, and Responses.

Context instructs how the model should respond. For instance, you can specify terms it can or cannot use or define the response format. This context applies every time you send a request to the model.

Examples help the model understand what an appropriate response looks like. You can type your example input and output or use the Test section to save a real response as an example.

Responses show the chat between you and the model. You can continue the conversation with the model by asking questions. For example, ask, "Why did they specifically choose these names?" You should see a response like this:

Great! Isn't it? Feel free to experiment with other Prompt examples.

Speech Section

Now, let’s move to the Speech section. Click on the Open button to proceed.

Here, you should see two tabs: Text-to-speech and Speech-to-text.

Starting with the Text-to-speech tab, enter "Beginner friendly tutorial on how to use Generative AI Studio by Google. Sit back, relax, and let the AI do the work for you." and hit the Submit button to convert it to speech. Wait for a few seconds as the model processes the request. Then, click on the Play button to listen to the result. Don’t forget to download it by clicking on the Download button; we will use it shortly.

Now, let’s navigate to the Speech-to-text tab. Click on the Browse button to upload the audio file you just downloaded. After a few seconds of processing, hit the Submit button to see the result. You should see something like this:
