Q & A
What is the main purpose of the solution that Lan and Martin discussed?
-The main purpose of the solution is to automate the creation of video ads for travel advertisers, making it efficient to generate ads for multiple destinations and traveler types.
How does the solution handle the requirement of creating 500 video files for 50 destinations and ten traveler types?
-The solution uses Generative AI to automate the process, which would otherwise be time-consuming and labor-intensive if done manually.
What is the name of the solution that Lan's team is building?
-The solution is named 'Generative AI for Travel Advertisers'.
How does the Generative AI know the top destinations in Singapore?
-The Generative AI is designed to have knowledge about top destinations and can generate ad text for those sights based on its training data.
What technology does the solution use to interact with AI?
-The solution uses Google Cloud Vertex API to send questions to the AI and receive responses.
How does the solution handle server configuration?
-The solution runs on Google Cloud Functions, which means there is no need for manual server configuration as Google Cloud takes care of it.
What was the process for Lan to get started with building the AI part of the solution?
-Lan used Google's Generative AI Studio and Language option to generate a new prompt, experimented with different prompts and parameters, and then used the provided code to integrate it into the solution.
What does the temperature parameter in the Generative AI model control?
-The temperature parameter controls the randomness of the AI's response. A low temperature is for prompts expecting a true or correct response, while a high temperature can lead to more diverse results.
How did Lan and Martin demonstrate the solution's functionality?
-They demonstrated the solution by selecting Singapore as the destination and Relaxation Lovers and Nature Goers as the travel audiences, then generating video ads for the recommended places.
What was the role of AI in the process of generating video ads?
-The AI's role was limited to providing recommendations for places based on the prompts given to it. The actual video file generation was done by separate code without the use of AI.
What was the key takeaway from the conversation for someone interested in building their own generative AI application?
-The key takeaway is that building a generative AI application can be a fairly simple process, starting with experimenting with prompts and parameters in Generative AI Studio, then using the provided code to integrate it into a larger application.
