Vertex AI Tutorial #6: Document Processing with Vertex AI (Gemini) & Python

In this tutorial, we dive into Google Cloud Vertex AI to process and analyze documents using the Gemini 2.0 Flash model. I'll show you step-by-step how to set up your service account credentials, initialize the Vertex AI SDK, and use the GenerativeModel to extract data from PDFs and text files. What you will learn: ✅ Authenticating with Service Account JSON in Python. ✅ Initializing Vertex AI with Gemini 2.0 Flash. ✅ Using Part.from_uri to handle PDF and Text files from Google Cloud Storage (GCS). ✅ Prompt Engineering for document summarization and specific data extraction (e.g., invoice details). Code Highlights: Setting up PROJECT_ID and REGION. Handling Multimodal inputs (PDF + Text). Querying invoices for specific line items and balances.
