10# Google Gen AI Go SDK
11
12The Google Gen AI Go SDK enables developers to use Google's state-of-the-art
13generative AI models (like Gemini) to build AI-powered features and applications.
14This SDK supports use cases like:
15- Generate text from text-only input
16- Generate text from text-and-images input (multimodal)
17- ...
18
19For example, with just a few lines of code, you can access Gemini's multimodal
20capabilities to generate text from text-and-image input.
21
22```go
23parts := []*genai.Part{
24  {Text: "What's this image about?"},
25  {InlineData: &genai.Blob{Data: imageBytes, MIMEType: "image/jpeg"}},
26}
27result, err := client.Models.GenerateContent(ctx, "gemini-2.0-flash", []*genai.Content{{Parts: parts}}, nil)
28```
