Gemini Code Assist is an AI-powered collaborator in Google Cloud that provides help to users of all skill levels where they need it. In Application Integration, Gemini Code Assist can assist you to do the following:

For detailed information about Gemini for Google Cloud, see Gemini for Google Cloud overview.

Before you begin

In the Google Cloud console, go to the Application Integration page.

Go to Application Integration

The following image shows the Application Integration page:
1. In the Get AI to build your integrations section, click Explore.
2. In the Gemini in Application Integration pane that appears, click Enable Service to enable the Gemini for Google Cloud API.
  For information about activating Gemini Code Assist in a Google Cloud project, see Set up Gemini Code Assist for a project.
Set up Application Integration in your Google Cloud project. For more information, see Set up Application Integration.
If you plan to create an integration using connectors, ensure to configure the desired connections in your Google Cloud project.
If you plan to create an integration using Apigee API Hub APIs that are in a host project, ensure that you have provisioned the API Hub in your project and that the Application Integration service account has the required role to access the APIs in the other project.

Required roles

To get the permissions that you need to use Gemini, ask your administrator to grant you the Gemini for Google Cloud User (roles/cloudaicompanion.user) IAM role on project. For more information about granting roles, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations.

You might also be able to get the required permissions through custom roles or other predefined roles.
If you plan to create an integration with Apigee API Hub, ensure that you have the Cloud API hub Viewer role (roles/apigeeregistry.viewer) on the project that contains the APIs.
If you plan to create an integration with Integration Connectors, ensure that you have the Connectors Viewer role (roles/connectors.viewer) on the project.

Tasks

Gemini also assists you to create the following control flow tasks but can't generate sub-integrations:

Create an integration

Gemini assists you to create and build integrations using your natural language statements (or prompts) as input. This allows you to create and build simple to complex integrations quickly and with minimal manual configurations.

Provide Gemini a brief prompt or description of the integration flow that you intent to build and Gemini will suggest one or more integration flows to help you get started.

To build an integration using Gemini, perform the following steps:

In the Google Cloud console, go to the Application Integration page.
Go to Application Integration
Click spark Help me create. The Create Integration with Gemini pane appears.
Alternatively, on the Create Integration page, create a new integration and then on the integration editor, click pen_spark Create integration flows with Gemini to use Gemini.

If you want to select a prompt template, select one from the Sample prompt templates. Otherwise, enter a prompt for Gemini to generate integrations. To learn how to write better prompts, see Write better prompts.
For example, suppose you added the following prompt: Create an integration which fetches a jira issue and then creates the zendesk ticket.
Click Generate.
Note: Gemini suggests one or more integration flows that qualifies your prompt:
- If you have enabled API Hub and Integration Connectors and met all prerequisites, then recommendations will contain Call REST Endpoint and Connectors tasks.
- If you have a data mapping requirement in your integration, then Gemini can also suggest a data mapping task. When you confirm the prompt, the data mapping task is replaced by a JavaScript task.
The following diagram shows the Create an integration with Gemini pane with the suggestions provided by Gemini:

Use the Previous and Next buttons to view the suggestions provided.
If you want to modify the suggested integration name, you can update the Integration name field.
Note: Integration name must be unique in the Google Cloud project.
Select a region for the integration. If your project has a single provisioned region, then the Region field is set to that region.
Note: The Region list shows the regions provisioned in your Google Cloud project. To provision a new region, Click Enable Region. See Enable new region for more information.
If you want to edit the prompt, click Edit Prompt.
To accept an integration flow suggestion, click Confirm. Application Integration shows the progress of the steps for creating the integration. Integrations created using Gemini replaces any existing integration elements and variables.

Contextual recommendations

You can use Gemini to provide contextual recommendations for your existing integrations. Gemini can assist you to provide contextually appropriate connector configuration recommendations based on the logical flow of your existing integration. If a connection in your integration has more than 1000 entities, then that connector isn't included in the recommendations by Gemini. For more limitations, see Limitations.

Configure connector tasks

Gemini can assist you to provide contextually appropriate connector configuration recommendations based on the logical flow of your existing integration. If a connection in your integration has more than 1000 entities, then that connector isn't included in the recommendations by Gemini. For more limitations, see Limitations.
