Opossum search

This notebook contains a simple example of generating code with the Gemini API and Gemini Flash. Just for fun, you'll prompt the model to create a web app called "Opossum Search" that searches Google with "opossum" appended to the query.

Set up your API key

To run the following cell, your API key must be stored it in a Colab Secret named GOOGLE_API_KEY. If you don't already have an API key, or you're not sure how to create a Colab Secret, see the Authentication quickstart for an example.

Prompt the model to generate the web app.

Run the output locally

You can start a web server as follows.

• Save the HTML output to a file called search.html
• In your terminal run python3 -m http.server 8000
• Open your web browser, and point it to http://localhost:8000/search.html

Display the output in IPython

Like all LLMs, the output may not always be correct. You can experiment by rerunning the prompt, or by writing an improved one (and/or better system instructions). Have fun!
