## What it is
The official Google Gen AI SDK for Go, providing a client interface to Google's generative models such as Gemini via the Gemini Developer API and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. It supports text generation, multimodal (text-and-image) input, video generation, and other generative AI capabilities.

## Use cases
- call the Gemini API from a Go application
- generate text from text and image input in Go
- integrate Google generative AI models into a backend service
- build AI-powered features with Gemini in Go
- use Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform from Go code
- generate videos with Gemini models programmatically

## When to choose
- you are building a Go application that needs access to Gemini models
- you want an official, maintained SDK for the Gemini Developer API or Enterprise Agent Platform
- you need multimodal generation (text, images, video) from Go

## When to avoid
- you use a language other than Go (there are separate SDKs for Python, JS, etc.)
- you need to call non-Google LLM providers with a unified interface
- you need a stable video-generation API without pinning versions, since breaking changes are planned before 2.0
