[Function Calling in Gemini](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/multimodal/function-calling)
lets developers create a description of a function in their code, then pass that
description to a language model in a request. The response from the model
includes the name of a function that matches the description and the arguments
to call it with.

## Sample notebooks and apps
