Gemini Interaction Artifacts
Artifacts are specialized structured types designed to enhance human-AI interaction by representing complex information in a clear, interactive, and functional way. They help turn text-based responses into rich visual and interactive experiences.
Key Artifact Types
The interaction system recognizes several core artifact types, each tailored for a specific purpose:
- Code Artifacts: For displaying, executing, and iterating on programming code.
- Data Artifacts: For visualizing datasets through charts, tables, and graphs.
- UI Artifacts: For rendering functional user interface components and prototypes.
- Document Artifacts: For structured documents, reports, and formatted text.
- Creative Artifacts: For non-textual creative outputs like SVG graphics and diagrams.
Artifact Benefits
- Clarification: Complex ideas can be visually represented to improve understanding.
- Interactivity: Users can interact with the outputs (e.g., manipulate charts, run code).
- Efficiency: Standardized formats speed up information retrieval and task completion.
- Context Preservation: Artifacts maintain the relationship between the conversation and the specific technical or creative result.
Usage Guidelines
- Contextual Generation: Generate artifacts only when they provide clear value over plain text.
- Standardized Schema: Follow the established JSON or Markdown schemas for each artifact type to ensure proper rendering.
- Self-Dependency: Each artifact should be self-contained and clear without excessive conversational reference.
- Iteration Friendly: Design artifacts so they can be easily updated or refined through follow-up prompts.
Developer Integration
Refer to the internal Gemini Interaction protocols for detailed schema definitions and rendering engine implementation details.
