#  Google Cloud Vertex AI Samples
This repository contains notebooks, code samples, sample apps, skills, and other resources that demonstrate how to use, develop and manage machine learning and generative AI workflows using Google Cloud Vertex AI.
## Overview
[Vertex AI](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai) is a fully-managed, unified AI development platform for building and using generative AI. This repository is designed to help you get started with Vertex AI. Whether you're new to Vertex AI or an experienced ML practitioner, you'll find valuable resources here.
⚠️ For more Vertex AI Generative AI notebook samples, please visit the Vertex AI [Generative AI](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/generative-ai) GitHub repository.
## Explore, learn and contribute
You can explore, learn, and contribute to this repository to unleash the full potential of machine learning on Vertex AI!
### Explore and learn
Explore this repository, follow the links in the header section of each of the notebooks to -
- Open and run the notebook in [Colab](https://colab.google/)
- Open and run the notebook in [Colab Enterprise](https://cloud.google.com/colab/docs/introduction)
- Open and run the notebook in [Vertex AI Workbench](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/workbench/introduction)

## Get started
To get started using Vertex AI, you must have a Google Cloud project.
- If you don't have a Google Cloud project, you can learn and build on GCP for free using [Free Trail](https://cloud.google.com/free).
- Once you have a Google Cloud project, you can learn more about [setting up a project and a development environment](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/start/cloud-environment).
