Questions

## Gemini: frequently asked

Should we use the Gemini API or Vertex AI?

The Gemini API is quick to start with. Vertex AI fits production on Google Cloud better because it uses your project's IAM, networking, regions and billing.

Can Gemini read PDFs and images directly?

Yes, Gemini accepts documents and images as input. For large volumes we still add a pipeline around it for retries, validation and storage of results.
