The Scenario

You have a folder of product photos and need to generate descriptive alt-text and metadata for each one to improve your website's accessibility and SEO.

Before & after

The old way

Manually looking at an image and typing out a detailed description or extracting data takes significant effort. For a complex image, this usually takes 5-10 minutes.

With AI

Using the multimodal capabilities of Gemini Pro Vision, you can process the image and text in a single API call. The AI analyzes the visual data and generates the description in about 5-10 seconds.

The Prompt

Write a [PYTHON/NODEJS] script using the Gemini API that takes an image file and a text prompt as input. The script should use the Gemini Pro Vision model to describe the contents of the image based on the prompt.

The Gemini API supports multimodal inputs, meaning it can process both images and text simultaneously. This is ideal for captioning, visual Q&A, or document analysis where layout matters.
