cases. Traditional AI models excel at learning from existing data to classify information or predict future outcomes based on historical patterns. Generative AI models expand these capabilities to create summaries, uncover complex hidden correlations, or generate new content—like text, images, or videos—that reflect the style and patterns within the training data.</p> <h2 id="when_to_use_generative_ai" data-text="When to use generative AI" tabindex="-1">When to use generative AI</h2> <p>In general, generative AI solutions excel at tasks like the following:</p> <ul> <li>Creating and recommending content.</li> <li>Powering conversational search and chatbots.</li> <li>Scaling and automating workflow for repetitive tasks.</li> <li>Using associative reasoning to find insights and relationships within documents and data.</li> <li>Generating code and assisting developers in writing, explaining, and documenting code.</li> </ul> <p>The following sections provide examples of these common, general generative AI use cases that can be customized to different industries.</p> <h3 id="content_creation_and_recommendation" data-text="Content creation and recommendation" tabindex="-1">Content creation and recommendation</h3> <ul> <li>Generating marketing related content such as product images, social media posts, and emails with relevant images.</li> <li>Translating content such as documents, website content, and multilingual chatbot conversations.</li> <li>Summarizing text content, including documents, articles, customer feedback, and reports, to help with more informed data-driven decisions.</li> <li>Creating summaries of information from multiple sources that can include text, images, and video or audio components.</li> <li>Automatic captioning or subtitling of videos.</li> <li>Creating creative multimedia content such as creating new images from text prompt descriptions, modifying or fixing images using text prompts (for example, removing an object or changing color scheme), and generating short videos or animations from text prompts or scripts.</li> <li>Generating realistic synthetic voices for audio such as voice-over tracks and music.</li> <li>Analyzing and understanding user behavior, preferences, reviews, and past interactions to provide personalized content recommendations.

An in-depth analysis involves a more comprehensive analysis of the data, anticipated outcomes, expected serving latency (such as real-time serving use cases), specific model metrics, and other influential factors.</span></aside> <p>The decision tree includes the following use case-driven questions and answers:</p> <ul> <li><p>If your use case is related to classification or detection, check whether a <a href="/vertex-ai/docs#vertex-ai-and-cloud-ml-products" track-type="concepts" track-name="internalLink" track-metadata-position="body">pre-trained traditional AI model</a> can meet your use case requirements. Pre-trained traditional models include AI APIs like Document AI, Vision AI, Natural Language API, and Video Intelligence API.</p> <ul> <li>If a pre-trained model meets your requirements, use the pre-trained model.</li> <li>If a pre-trained model can't meet your requirements, check whether enough training data is available to custom train a model. <ul> <li>If sufficient training data is available, what should be prioritized: more control of model training or achieving faster go-to-market (GTM)? <ul> <li>If you require high control of the model training with customizations like using any preferred model algorithm, developing your own loss functions, using specific features of model <a href="/explainable-ai" track-type="concepts" track-name="internalLink" track-metadata-position="body">explainability</a>, the number of layers in the model, learning rate, and other model <a href="https://developers.google.com/machine-learning/guides/text-classification/step-5" target="dgc" track-type="concepts" track-name="dgcLink" track-metadata-position="body">hyperparameters</a>, use a custom training of a traditional AI model.

If your use case is specialized, you can improve the performance of a model by using model tuning like <a href="/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/models/tune-models#how-tuning-works" track-type="concepts" track-name="internalLink" track-metadata-position="body">supervised tuning</a> for classification, sentiment analysis, or entity extraction.</li> </ul></li> <li>If a training dataset isn't available, or if available datasets aren't large enough to custom train a model, use generative AI models with <a href="/discover/what-is-prompt-engineering" track-type="concepts" track-name="internalLink" track-metadata-position="body">prompt engineering</a>.

Use of generative AI includes use cases that require processing and inputting information from multiple modalities like text, images, videos, or audio.</p></li> </ul> <p>Although data scientists and ML engineers commonly lead the model selection process, it's important to also consider the input of key stakeholders like business leaders, product owners, domain experts, and end users. For example, these stakeholders might engage in the following ways:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Business leaders and decision-makers</strong>: Approve the selection when it's aligned with the business priorities.</li> <li><strong>Product owners</strong>: Might require influence or have more control of the model behavior to align it with the product priorities.</li> <li><strong>Domain experts</strong>: Apply their domain expertise to improve model effectiveness.</li> <li><strong>End users</strong>: Might need to understand the output of the model, and how to incorporate the output for more informed decision-making.</li> </ul> <h2 id="when_to_combine_generative_ai_with_traditional_ai" data-text="When to combine generative AI with traditional AI" tabindex="-1">When to combine generative AI with traditional AI</h2> <p>Traditional AI and generative AI aren't mutually exclusive. In some business use cases, they can be used to complement each other to address the ultimate business goal. For example, you can use output from a traditional AI model as part of the prompt for a generative AI model. The following are some examples of use cases for combining traditional and generative AI capabilities:</p> <ul> <li>Traditional predictive AI can analyze historical data to forecast customer churn probability. This analysis can be integrated with an LLM or generative AI-powered chatbot, which empowers your sales team to explore the predictions by using natural language conversations. You can also generate business intelligence (BI) dashboards through simple conversation with the chatbot.</li> <li>Traditional predictive AI can forecast risks of a specific use case, while generative AI can simulate different scenarios to help in formulating possible mitigation strategies.</li> <li>Traditional predictive AI can identify customer segments to help create personalized marketing and campaign creation. You can then use generative AI to generate personalized marketing content that's tailored to each identified segment.</li> <li>Traditional AI computer vision can detect and classify sign language to translate video input into text. Generative AI can add understanding of context and nuance within sign language, allowing for more optimized translation into written text, including multiple languages. Generative AI can also generate voice output from the text translation, enabling seamless two-way communication between signers and non-signers.</li> <li>Traditional AI can perform video analytics and use video intelligence capabilities to extract vital insights and features from video assets. For example, it can perform object detection, person detection, text detection, and extraction from video assets. Generative AI can then use those insights to create novel experiences like chatbots, listings, reports, or articles.</li> </ul> <p>To maximize the business benefits of your generative AI and traditional AI investments, prioritize necessary business outcomes and user needs (business-driven and user-centric AI solutions). This approach ensures that solutions stay relevant, drive adoption, enhance efficiency, and foster innovation. Prioritizing the user experience in AI-powered solutions helps to align expectations and deliver meaningful results.</p> <h2 id="whats_next" data-text="What's next" tabindex="-1">What's next</h2> <ul> <li>Learn how to <a href="/docs/ai-ml/generative-ai/evaluate-define-generative-ai-use-case" track-type="concepts" track-name="internalLink" track-metadata-position="body">evaluate and define your generative AI business use case</a>.</li> <li>Learn more about the stages of developing a generative AI application and choose the best products and tools for your use case in <a href="/docs/ai-ml/generative-ai" track-type="concepts" track-name="internalLink" track-metadata-position="body">Build a generative AI application on Google Cloud</a>.</li> <li>Assess your AI capabilities and create a roadmap to harness its potential with the <a href="/consulting/ai-readiness-workshop" track-type="concepts" track-name="internalLink" track-metadata-position="body">AI Readiness Workshop</a>.</li> </ul> <devsite-hats-survey class="nocontent" hats-id="mwETRvWii0eU5NUYprb0Y9z5GVbc" listnr-id="83405"></devsite-hats-survey> </div> <devsite-thumb-rating position="footer"> </devsite-thumb-rating> <devsite-feedback position="footer" project-name="Generative AI" product-id="5164350" bucket="Documentation" context="" version="t-devsite-webserver-20241114-r00-rc02.464922260396498922" data-label="Send Feedback Button" track-type="feedback" track-name="sendFeedbackLink" track-metadata-position="footer" class="nocontent" project-icon="https://www.gstatic.com/devrel-devsite/prod/v870e399c64f7c43c99a3043db4b3a74327bb93d0914e84a0c3dba90bbfd67625/cloud/images/favicons/onecloud/super_cloud.png" > <button> Send feedback </button> </devsite-feedback> <div class="devsite-floating-action-buttons"> </div> </article> <devsite-content-footer class="nocontent"> <p>Except as otherwise noted, the content of this page is licensed under the <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License</a>, and code samples are licensed under the <a href="https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0">Apache 2.0 License</a>.
