Abstract

This report presents a Google Apps Script for generating visualized cooking recipes with text and images using the Gemini API, leveraging its image generation capabilities.

Introduction

Recently, image generation was supported in the Gemini API using Gemini 2.0 Flash Experimental and Imagen 3. I have already reported a simple sample script for generating images using the Gemini API with Google Apps Script. Ref Google Apps Script seamlessly integrates with Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides. In this report, I would like to introduce a script for creating a recipe for cooking a dish, including texts and images, using the Gemini API with Google Apps Script.

Description

Recently, image generation was supported in the Gemini API using Gemini 2.0 Flash Experimental and Imagen 3. This report introduces simple sample scripts for generating images using the Gemini API with Google Apps Script. When images can be created using the Gemini API with Google Apps Script, Google Apps Script, which seamlessly integrates with Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, becomes a powerful tool for creating and managing them, and the applications are infinite.

GeminiWithFiles was updated to v2.0.4

• v2.0.4 (March 15, 2025)

  1. Property generationConfig was added to the method geminiWithFiles. By this, you can use all properties for generationConfig. Ref You can see the sample scripts at “Use googleSearch for grounding” and “Generate image”.

Description

Now, Google Docs and Google Sheets can insert smart chips. Smart chips are very useful for easily inserting information like users, maps, files, and so on. However, unfortunately, at the current stage, smart chips cannot be directly managed using Google Apps Script. Specifically, the information within smart chips cannot be directly retrieved by Google Apps Script. Although I believe this will be resolved in a future update, there might be cases where you want to retrieve information from smart chips using Google Apps Script. This report introduces a workaround for achieving this.

Description

This report introduces a sample script for changing the glyph colors of bullets in lists on Google Documents using Google Apps Script. Currently, there are no built-in methods for achieving this using either the Document service (DocumentApp) or the Docs API. However, this can be accomplished through a specific process. This report will introduce that process using Google Apps Script.

Abstract

This report outlines a Google Apps Script solution for directly exporting web-published Google Docs to PDF. By circumventing limitations in published URLs, the script enables convenient PDF generation without manual intervention.

Introduction

Google Sheets and Google Docs offer the convenient feature of web publishing, providing readily accessible URLs for sharing. Ref

• Google Sheets: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-###/pubhtml
• Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-###/pub

These URLs utilize a unique ID (###) for each document. While Google Sheets supports direct PDF export by modifying the URL to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-###/pub?output=pdf, a similar direct method for Google Docs is currently unavailable.

Abstract

A new library, MimeTypeApp, simplifies using Gmail messages and attachments with the Gemini API for tasks like text analysis. It converts unsupported formats for seamless integration with Google Apps Script and Gemini.

Introduction

Recently, I published MimeTypeApp, a Google Apps Script library that simplifies parsing Gmail messages, including attachments, for use with the Gemini API. Ref This library addresses a key challenge: Gmail attachments come in various MIME types, while the Gemini API currently only accepts a limited set for processing. MimeTypeApp bridges this gap by providing functions to convert unsupported MIME types to formats compatible with Gemini. With MimeTypeApp, you can streamline your workflows that involve parsing Gmail messages and their attachments for tasks like text extraction, summarization, or sentiment analysis using the Gemini API. This report introduces a sample script that demonstrates how to leverage MimeTypeApp to achieve this functionality. By leveraging Google Apps Script’s integration capabilities, MimeTypeApp allows you to create powerful applications that seamlessly connect Gmail, Spreadsheets (for storing results or extracted data), and the Gemini API.
