​
Prerequisites

Before integrating Vertex AI, ensure you have:

  1. A Google Cloud Platform (GCP) account
  2. Firebase project connected to your Golex app
  3. Billing enabled on your GCP project

​
Prompting Golex to build AI features

Once Vertex AI is enabled, you can use specific prompts to tell Golex exactly what AI features you want to build. Here are examples of well-defined prompts for common AI features:

​
Example

Content Summarization

“Create a content summarization feature that:

  • Summarizes long articles into 3 paragraphs
  • Extracts 5 key bullet points from any text
  • Maintains original context and important details
  • Allows customizable summary length
  • Supports multiple input formats (PDF, DOC, TXT)”

Image Generation

“Build an AI image generator that:

  • Creates custom images from detailed text descriptions
  • Offers multiple style options (realistic, artistic, cartoon)
  • Allows size and aspect ratio customization”

Text Generation

“Implement a text generation system that:

  • Writes product descriptions in specific brand voice
  • Generates blog post drafts from topic outlines
  • Creates email templates with customizable tone
  • Supports multiple languages and translations
  • Maintains consistent style and formatting”

Best Practices

When writing prompts, always specify:
