This tutorial shows you how to generate text from text, audio, or video by
using the
[`AI.GENERATE` function](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/standard-sql/bigqueryml-syntax-ai-generate)
along with a hosted Gemini model. This approach eliminates the need
to create and maintain your own model.

## Objectives

- Summarize news articles.
- Generate structured output from news articles that includes a summary and overall sentiment.
- Create a transcript of a video in Japanese and translate it to English.
- Generate a summary and list of topics from audio content.

## Costs


In this document, you use the following billable components of Google Cloud:


- **BigQuery ML**: You incur costs for the data that you process in BigQuery.
- **Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform**: You incur costs for calls to the Agent Platform model.


To generate a cost estimate based on your projected usage,
use the [pricing calculator](https://docs.cloud.google.com/products/calculator).
New Google Cloud users might be eligible for a [free trial](https://docs.cloud.google.com/free).

<br />

For more information, see
[BigQuery pricing](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/pricing)
and
[Agent Platform pricing](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/pricing).

## Before you begin

1.


   Enable the BigQuery API, if it is not already enabled.


   **Roles required to enable APIs**


   To enable APIs, you need the `serviceusage.services.enable` permission. If you
   created the project, then you likely already have this permission through the
   Owner role (`roles/owner`). Otherwise, you can get this permission through the
   Service Usage Admin role (`roles/serviceusage.serviceUsageAdmin`).
   [Learn how to grant roles](https://docs.cloud.google.com/iam/docs/granting-changing-revoking-access).

   [Enable the API](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/enableflow?apiid=bigquery.googleapis.com)

   For new projects, the BigQuery API is
   automatically enabled.

### Required roles


To get the permissions that
you need to use the `AI.GENERATE` function,

ask your administrator to grant you the
following IAM roles:

- Create and use BigQuery datasets and tables: [BigQuery Data Editor](https://docs.cloud.google.com/iam/docs/roles-permissions/bigquery#bigquery.dataEditor) (`roles/bigquery.dataEditor`) on your project.
- Create, delegate, and use BigQuery connections: [BigQuery Connections Admin](https://docs.cloud.google.com/iam/docs/roles-permissions/bigquery#bigquery.connectionsAdmin) (`roles/bigquery.connectionsAdmin`) on your project.
- Grant permissions to the connection's service account: [Project IAM Admin](https://docs.cloud.google.com/iam/docs/roles-permissions/resourcemanager#resourcemanager.projectIamAdmin) (`roles/resourcemanager.projectIamAdmin`) on the project that contains the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform endpoint.
- Create BigQuery jobs: [BigQuery Job User](https://docs.cloud.google.com/iam/docs/roles-permissions/bigquery#bigquery.jobUser) (`roles/bigquery.jobUser`) on your project.


For more information about granting roles, see [Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations](https://docs.cloud.google.com/iam/docs/granting-changing-revoking-access).


These predefined roles contain

the permissions required to use the `AI.GENERATE` function. To see the exact permissions that are
required, expand the **Required permissions** section:


#### Required permissions

The following permissions are required to use the `AI.GENERATE` function:

- Create a dataset: `bigquery.datasets.create`
- Create, delegate, and use a connection: `bigquery.connections.*`
- Set service account permissions:
  - `resourcemanager.projects.getIamPolicy`
  - `resourcemanager.projects.setIamPolicy`
- Query table data: `bigquery.tables.getData`


You might also be able to get
these permissions
with [custom roles](https://docs.cloud.google.com/iam/docs/creating-custom-roles) or
other [predefined roles](https://docs.cloud.google.com/iam/docs/roles-overview#predefined).

## Create a dataset

Create a BigQuery dataset to contain your resources:

### Console

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the **BigQuery** page.

   [Go to BigQuery](https://console.cloud.google.com/bigquery)
2. In the left pane, click **Explorer**:

   ![Highlighted button for the Explorer pane.](https://docs.cloud.google.com/static/bigquery/images/explorer-tab.png)

   If you don't see the left pane, click **Expand left pane** to open the pane.
3. In the **Explorer** pane, click your project name.

4. Click **View actions \> Create dataset**.

5. On the **Create dataset** page, do the following:

   1. For **Dataset ID**, type a name for the dataset.

   2. For **Location type** , select **Region** or **Multi-region**.

      - If you selected **Region** , then select a location from the **Region** list.
      - If you selected **Multi-region** , then select **US** or **Europe** from the **Multi-region** list.
   3. Click **Create dataset**.

### bq

1. To create a new dataset, use the
   [`bq mk`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/bq-cli-reference#mk-dataset) command
   with the `--location` flag:

   ```
   bq --location=LOCATION mk -d DATASET_ID
   ```

   Replace the following:
   - `LOCATION`: the dataset's [location](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/locations).
   - `DATASET_ID`: the ID of the dataset that you're creating.
2. Confirm that the dataset was created:

   ```bash
   bq ls
   ```

## Create a connection

After you create the training dataset, you establish a connection to link
BigQuery and external sources. Create a
[Cloud resource connection](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/create-cloud-resource-connection)
and get the connection's service account. Create the connection in the same
[location](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/locations) as the dataset that you created in the
previous step.
Select one of the following options:

<br />

### Console

1. Go to the **BigQuery** page.

   [Go to BigQuery](https://console.cloud.google.com/bigquery)
2. In the left pane, click
   **Explorer**:

   ![Highlighted button for the Explorer pane.](https://docs.cloud.google.com/static/bigquery/images/explorer-tab.png)

   If you don't see the left pane, click
   **Expand left pane** to open the pane.
3. In the **Explorer** pane, expand your project name, and then click
   **Connections**.

4. On the **Connections** page, click **Create connection**.

5. For **Connection type** , choose **Vertex AI remote models, remote
   functions, BigLake and Spanner (Cloud Resource)**.

6. In the **Connection ID** field, enter a name for your connection.

7. For **Location type**, select a location for your connection. The
   connection should be colocated with your other resources such as
   datasets.

8. Click **Create connection**.

9. Click **Go to connection**.

10. In the **Connection info** pane, copy the service account ID for use in
    a later step.

### SQL

Use the [`CREATE CONNECTION` statement](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/standard-sql/data-definition-language#create_connection_statement):


1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the **BigQuery** page.

   [Go to BigQuery](https://console.cloud.google.com/bigquery)
2. In the query editor, enter the following statement:

   ```googlesql
   CREATE CONNECTION [IF NOT EXISTS] `CONNECTION_NAME`
   OPTIONS (
     connection_type = "CLOUD_RESOURCE",
     friendly_name = "FRIENDLY_NAME",
     description = "DESCRIPTION"
     );
   ```


   Replace the following:
   - `CONNECTION_NAME`: the name of the connection in either the `PROJECT_ID.LOCATION.CONNECTION_ID`, `LOCATION.CONNECTION_ID`, or `CONNECTION_ID` format. If the project or location are omitted, then they are inferred from the project and location where the statement is run.
   - `FRIENDLY_NAME` (optional): a descriptive name for the connection.
   - `DESCRIPTION` (optional): a description of the connection.

   <br />

3. Click **Run**.

   <br />

For more information about how to run queries, see [Run an interactive query](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/running-queries#queries).

### bq

1. In a command-line environment, create a connection:

   ```bash
   bq mk --connection --location=REGION --project_id=PROJECT_ID \
       --connection_type=CLOUD_RESOURCE CONNECTION_ID
   ```

   The `--project_id` parameter overrides the default project.

   Replace the following:
   - `REGION`: your [connection region](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/locations#supported_locations)
   - `PROJECT_ID`: your Google Cloud project ID
   - `CONNECTION_ID`: an ID for your connection

   When you create a connection resource, BigQuery creates a
   unique system service account and associates it with the connection.

   **Troubleshooting** : If you get the following connection error,
   [update the Google Cloud SDK](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/quickstart):

   ```
   Flags parsing error: flag --connection_type=CLOUD_RESOURCE: value should be one of...
   ```
2. Retrieve and copy the service account ID for use in a later
   step:

   ```bash
   bq show --connection PROJECT_ID.REGION.CONNECTION_ID
   ```

   The output is similar to the following:

   ```
   name                          properties
   1234.REGION.CONNECTION_ID     {"serviceAccountId": "connection-1234-9u56h9@gcp-sa-bigquery-condel.iam.gserviceaccount.com"}
   ```

        }
      }

### Terraform

Use the
[`google_bigquery_connection`](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/google/latest/docs/resources/bigquery_connection)
resource.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** To create BigQuery objects using Terraform, you must enable the [Cloud Resource Manager API](https://docs.cloud.google.com/resource-manager/reference/rest).

To authenticate to BigQuery, set up Application Default
Credentials. For more information, see
[Set up authentication for client libraries](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/authentication#client-libs).

The following example creates a Cloud resource connection named
`my_cloud_resource_connection` in the `US` region:


    # This queries the provider for project information.
    data "google_project" "default" {}

    # This creates a cloud resource connection in the US region named my_cloud_resource_connection.
    # Note: The cloud resource nested object has only one output field - serviceAccountId.
    resource "google_bigquery_connection" "default" {
      connection_id = "my_cloud_resource_connection"
      project       = data.google_project.default.project_id
      location      = "US"
      cloud_resource {}
    }

To apply your Terraform configuration in a Google Cloud project, complete the steps in the
following sections.

## Prepare Cloud Shell

1. Launch [Cloud Shell](https://shell.cloud.google.com/).
2. Set the default Google Cloud project
   where you want to apply your Terraform configurations.

   You only need to run this command once per project, and you can run it in any directory.

   ```
   export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT=PROJECT_ID
   ```

   Environment variables are overridden if you set explicit values in the Terraform
   configuration file.

## Prepare the directory

Each Terraform configuration file must have its own directory (also
called a *root module*).

1. In [Cloud Shell](https://shell.cloud.google.com/), create a directory and a new file within that directory. The filename must have the `.tf` extension---for example `main.tf`. In this tutorial, the file is referred to as `main.tf`.

   ```
   mkdir DIRECTORY && cd DIRECTORY && touch main.tf
   ```
2. If you are following a tutorial, you can copy the sample code in each section or step.

   Copy the sample code into the newly created `main.tf`.

   Optionally, copy the code from GitHub. This is recommended
   when the Terraform snippet is part of an end-to-end solution.
3. Review and modify the sample parameters to apply to your environment.
4. Save your changes.
5. Initialize Terraform. You only need to do this once per directory.

   ```
   terraform init
   ```

   Optionally, to use the latest Google provider version, include the `-upgrade`
   option:

   ```
   terraform init -upgrade
   ```

## Apply the changes

1. Review the configuration and verify that the resources that Terraform is going to create or update match your expectations:

   ```
   terraform plan
   ```

   Make corrections to the configuration as necessary.
2. Apply the Terraform configuration by running the following command and entering `yes` at the prompt:

   ```
   terraform apply
   ```

   Wait until Terraform displays the "Apply complete!" message.
3. [Open your Google Cloud project](https://console.cloud.google.com/) to view the results. In the Google Cloud console, navigate to your resources in the UI to make sure that Terraform has created or updated them.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Terraform samples typically assume that the required APIs are enabled in your Google Cloud project.

### Give the service account access

Grant the connection's service account the Agent Platform User and
Storage Object Viewer roles. To grant the roles, follow these steps:

1. Go to the **IAM \& Admin** page.

   [Go to IAM \& Admin](https://console.cloud.google.com/project/_/iam-admin)
2. Click **Add**.

   The **Add principals** dialog opens.
3. In the **New principals** field, enter the service account ID that you
   copied earlier.

4. In the **Select a role** field, select **Vertex AI** , and then select
   **Agent Platform User**.

5. Click **Add another role**.

6. In the **Select a role** field, choose **Cloud Storage** , and then
   select **Storage Object Viewer**.

7. Click **Save**.

## Summarize text and use the default output format

To summarize news articles, call the `AI.GENERATE` function with the article
text as your prompt. By default, the output includes the generated summary
text, the full response, and a status that is empty if the function returns
successfully.

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the **BigQuery** page.

   [Go to BigQuery](https://console.cloud.google.com/bigquery)
2. In the query editor, run the following query:

   ```googlesql
   WITH
   bbc_news AS (
     SELECT body FROM `bigquery-public-data.bbc_news.fulltext` LIMIT 5
   )
   SELECT AI.GENERATE(body) AS news FROM bbc_news;
   ```

   The output is similar to the following:

   ```
   +---+---+---+
   | news.result                                 | news.full_response                 | news.status   |

   +---+---+---+
   ```

## Summarize text and output structured results

Follow these steps to generate text using the `AI.GENERATE` function, and use
the `AI.GENERATE` function's `output_schema` argument to format the output:

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the BigQuery page.

   [Go to BigQuery](https://console.cloud.google.com/bigquery)
2. In the query editor, run the following query:

   ```googlesql
   WITH bbc_news AS (
     SELECT
       body
     FROM
       `bigquery-public-data`.bbc_news.fulltext
     LIMIT 5
   )
   SELECT
     news.good_sentiment,
     news.summary
   FROM
     bbc_news,
     UNNEST(ARRAY[AI.GENERATE(body, output_schema  => 'summary STRING, good_sentiment BOOL')]) AS news;
   ```

   The output is similar to the following:

   ```
   +---+---+
   | good_sentiment | summary                                    |
   +---+---+
   | true           | A World Bank report suggests the digital   |

   +---+---+
   | ...            | ...                                        |
   +---+---+
   ```

## Transcribe and translate video content

You can process multimedia files stored in Cloud Storage by using
external object tables. The following steps show how to create an
[object table](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/object-table-introduction) for video files,
transcribe the Japanese video content, and translate the text to English.

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the BigQuery page.

   [Go to BigQuery](https://console.cloud.google.com/bigquery)
2. In the query editor, run the following query to create the object table:

   ```googlesql
   CREATE OR REPLACE EXTERNAL TABLE `bqml_tutorial.video`
   WITH CONNECTION `us.test_connection`
   OPTIONS (
     object_metadata = 'SIMPLE',
     uris =
       ['gs://cloud-samples-data/generative-ai/video/*']);
   ```
3. In the query editor, run the following query to transcribe and translate
   the `pixel8.mp4` file:

   ```googlesql
   SELECT
     AI.GENERATE(
       (OBJ.GET_ACCESS_URL(ref, 'r'), 'Transcribe the video in Japanese and then translate to English.'),
       output_schema => 'japanese_transcript STRING, english_translation STRING'
     ).* EXCEPT (full_response, status)
   FROM
     `bqml_tutorial.video`
   WHERE
     REGEXP_CONTAINS(uri, 'pixel8.mp4');
   ```

   The output is similar to the following:

   ```
   +---+---+
   | english_translation                        | japanese_transcript            |
   +---+---+

   | faces. The city at night is totally...     | す 。 東京 に は いろんな 顔 が    |
   +---+---+
   ```

## Analyze audio file content

Follow these steps to create an object table over public audio content, and then
analyze the content of the audio files.

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the BigQuery page.

   [Go to BigQuery](https://console.cloud.google.com/bigquery)
2. In the query editor, run the following query to create the object table:

   ```googlesql
   CREATE OR REPLACE EXTERNAL TABLE `bqml_tutorial.audio`
   WITH CONNECTION `us.test_connection`
   OPTIONS (
     object_metadata = 'SIMPLE',
     uris =
       ['gs://cloud-samples-data/generative-ai/audio/*']);
   ```
3. In the query editor, run the following query to analyze the audio files:

   ```googlesql
   SELECT
     AI.GENERATE(
       (OBJ.GET_ACCESS_URL(ref, 'r'), 'Summarize the content of this audio file.'),
       output_schema => 'topic ARRAY<STRING>, summary STRING'
     ).* EXCEPT (full_response, status), uri
   FROM
     `bqml_tutorial.audio`;
   ```

   The results look similar to the following:

   ```
   +---+---+
   | summary                                    | topic              | uri                                  |

## Clean up


To avoid incurring charges to your Google Cloud account for the resources used in this
tutorial, either delete the project that contains the resources, or keep the project and
delete the individual resources.

> [!CAUTION]
> **Caution** : Deleting a project has the following effects:
>
> - **Everything in the project is deleted.** If you used an existing project for the tasks in this document, when you delete it, you also delete any other work you've done in the project.
> - **Custom project IDs are lost.** When you created this project, you might have created a custom project ID that you want to use in the future. To preserve the URLs that use the project ID, such as an `appspot.com` URL, delete selected resources inside the project instead of deleting the whole project.
>
>
> If you plan to explore multiple architectures, tutorials, or quickstarts, reusing projects
> can help you avoid exceeding project quota limits.

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the **Manage resources** page.

   [Go to Manage resources](https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/projects)
2. In the project list, select the project that you want to delete, and then click **Delete**.
3. In the dialog, type the project ID, and then click **Shut down** to delete the project.
