| [ObjectSchema](./ai.objectschema.md#objectschema_class) | Schema class for "object" types. The <code>properties</code> param must be a map of <code>Schema</code> objects. |

| [Schema](./ai.schema.md#schema_class) | Parent class encompassing all Schema types, with static methods that allow building specific Schema types. This class can be converted with <code>JSON.stringify()</code> into a JSON string accepted by Vertex AI REST endpoints. (This string conversion is automatically done when calling SDK methods.) |

| [StringSchema](./ai.stringschema.md#stringschema_class) | Schema class for "string" types. Can be used with or without enum values. |

| [TemplateGenerativeModel](./ai.templategenerativemodel.md#templategenerativemodel_class) | <b><i>(Public Preview)</i></b> [GenerativeModel](./ai.generativemodel.md#generativemodel_class) APIs that execute on a server-side template.<!-- -->This class should only be instantiated with [getTemplateGenerativeModel()](./ai.md#gettemplategenerativemodel_9476bbc)<!-- -->. |

| [TemplateImagenModel](./ai.templateimagenmodel.md#templateimagenmodel_class) | Class for Imagen model APIs that execute on a server-side template.<!-- -->This class should only be instantiated with [getTemplateImagenModel()](./ai.md#gettemplateimagenmodel_9476bbc)<!-- -->. |

| [VertexAIBackend](./ai.vertexaibackend.md#vertexaibackend_class) | Configuration class for the Vertex AI Gemini API.<!-- -->Use this with [AIOptions](./ai.aioptions.md#aioptions_interface) when initializing the AI service via [getAI()](./ai.md#getai_a94a413) to specify the Vertex AI Gemini API as the backend. |

| [StartAudioConversationOptions](./ai.startaudioconversationoptions.md#startaudioconversationoptions_interface) | <b><i>(Public Preview)</i></b> Options for [startAudioConversation()](./ai.md#startaudioconversation_01c8e7f)<!-- -->. |

| [StartChatParams](./ai.startchatparams.md#startchatparams_interface) | Params for [GenerativeModel.startChat()](./ai.generativemodel.md#generativemodelstartchat)<!-- -->. |

| [StartTemplateChatParams](./ai.starttemplatechatparams.md#starttemplatechatparams_interface) | <b><i>(Public Preview)</i></b> Params for [TemplateGenerativeModel.startChat()](./ai.templategenerativemodel.md#templategenerativemodelstartchat)<!-- -->. |

| [TemplateFunctionDeclaration](./ai.templatefunctiondeclaration.md#templatefunctiondeclaration_interface) | <b><i>(Public Preview)</i></b> Structured representation of a template function declaration. Included in this declaration are the function name and parameters. This <code>TemplateFunctionDeclaration</code> is a representation of a block of code that can be used as a Tool by the model and executed by the client. Note: Template function declarations do not support description fields. |

| [TemplateFunctionDeclarationsTool](./ai.templatefunctiondeclarationstool.md#templatefunctiondeclarationstool_interface) | <b><i>(Public Preview)</i></b> A piece of code that enables the system to interact with external systems. |

| [TextPart](./ai.textpart.md#textpart_interface) | Content part interface if the part represents a text string. |

| [ThinkingConfig](./ai.thinkingconfig.md#thinkingconfig_interface) | Configuration for "thinking" behavior of compatible Gemini models.<!-- -->Certain models utilize a thinking process before generating a response. This allows them to reason through complex problems and plan a more coherent and accurate answer. |

| [ToolConfig](./ai.toolconfig.md#toolconfig_interface) | Tool config. This config is shared for all tools provided in the request. |
