Agent Z communication assistant 🤖

This Quarkus project uses Gemini and google-genai library to generate image from templates. This can allows us to save time for our communication of social network.

⚠️ Be careful about the images you use. Please contact the person if you are using their images before using them and integrating them into this API.

🙌 Features

• 🚀 Quarkus Framework: Fast startup and low memory footprint
• 🤖 Gemini AI Integration: Uses Google's latest Gemini models
• 🎨 Image Description Generation: Creates detailed descriptions for image generation
• 📝 Text Generation: General-purpose text generation capabilities

🛠️ Prerequisites

• Java 17 or higher
• Maven 3.8+
• Google AI API Key

👨‍💻 Installation

1. Clone the repository

   git clone [email protected]:zenika-open-source/agent-Z-communication-assistant.git
   cd agent-Z-communication-assistant

2. Set up your Google AI API Key

   Option A: Environment Variable (Recommended)

   export GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-api-key-here

   Option B: Configuration File

   # Edit src/main/resources/application.properties
   google.ai.api.key=your-api-key-here

3. Build the project

   mvn clean compile

🚀 Usage

Running the Application

Development Mode (with hot reload):

mvn quarkus:dev

Configuration

The application can be configured through src/main/resources/application.properties:

# Google AI Configuration
google.ai.api.key=your-api-key-here

# Gemini Model Settings
app.gemini.model=gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview
app.result.filename=gemini-generation-image.png
app.prompt=Your custom prompt for image generation

# Media Type Configuration
app.media.type=image
# Supported values: image, video

# Template and Files Configuration
app.template.path=images/template.png
app.file1.path=images/file1.png
app.file2.path=images/file2.png
app.template.formats=png,jpg,jpeg

# Video Generation Configuration (for video media type)
app.video.ratio=16:9
app.video.resolution=1080p

# Quarkus Configuration
quarkus.http.port=8080
quarkus.log.level=INFO

Template Configuration Options

The application supports two main modes: Image Generation and Video Generation.

Image Generation Mode

• app.media.type: Set to image for image generation (default)
• app.gemini.model: Gemini model for image generation (e.g., gemini-2.5-flash-image)
• app.template.path: Path to the template image file to use
• app.file1.path: Path to the first additional image (e.g., conference logo)
• app.file2.path: Path to the second additional image (e.g., speaker photo)
• app.template.formats: Supported image formats (png, jpg, jpeg, gif, webp)

Video Generation Mode

• app.media.type: Set to video for video generation
• app.gemini.model.veo: Veo model for video generation (e.g., veo-3.0-fast-generate-001)
• app.video.ratio: Video aspect ratio (e.g., 16:9, 9:16, 1:1)
• app.video.resolution: Video resolution (e.g., 1080p, 720p, 4k)
• app.template.path: Path to the base image for video generation

Using Custom Templates

1. Place your template images in the images/ directory

2. Configure the template path in application.properties:

   # For image generation
   app.media.type=image
   app.template.path=images/my-custom-template.png
   app.file1.path=images/logo.png
   app.file2.path=images/speaker-photo.jpg
   
   # For video generation
   app.media.type=video
   app.template.path=images/base-image.png
   app.video.ratio=16:9
   app.video.resolution=1080p

3. Or pass it as a command-line parameter:

   # Image generation
   java -jar target/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jar \
     -Dapp.media.type=image \
     -Dapp.template.path=images/special-template.jpg \
     -Dapp.file1.path=images/conference-logo.png \
     -Dapp.file2.path=images/speaker.jpg
   
   # Video generation
   java -jar target/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jar \
     -Dapp.media.type=video \
     -Dapp.template.path=images/base.png \
     -Dapp.video.ratio=9:16 \
     -Dapp.video.resolution=1080p

Supported Template Formats

The application automatically detects and supports the following image formats:

• PNG (.png) - Recommended for templates with transparency
• JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg) - Good for photographic templates
• GIF (.gif) - Supports animated templates
• WebP (.webp) - Modern format with good compression

Template Validation

The application includes built-in template validation:

• Checks if the specified template file exists
• Falls back to the default template if the primary template is missing
• Provides clear error messages if no valid template is found
• Logs template usage for debugging
