Function calling works great with Gemini! I would just recommend allowing discriminated union types for the supported OpenAPI subset. Working around this has been a bit of a hassle. But overall it's amazing how well it works.

Function calling vs RAG, when to use which one?

[LuisMan]

wish it was possile to kinda stream an input into gemini if that makes sense, i.e user inputs a certain text, Gemini decides to call the corresponding function associated with the input, then it would wait for a response and then respond to the User confirming that it executed the function, sure you could do that but it would require at least two gemini API calls, my idea would be basically sending a single prompt gemini and have it dynamically adjust its output, like text streaming, except to the model, not from the model

It looks similar to the APP Action feature of Samsung Galaxy S25.
So how do Gemini call the API of my app?
Do you need a registration procedure?
