Description

The docs dont contain a working example ? most of the method names dont exist. theres no example of passing audio stream into the model? What the hell is going on here guys?

late LiveModelSession _session; //should be LiveSession
final _audioRecorder = YourAudioRecorder();



// Initialize the Vertex AI Gemini API backend service
// Create a `LiveModel` instance with the model that supports the Live API
final model = FirebaseAI.vertexAI().liveModel( //should be liveGenerationModel
  model: 'gemini-2.0-flash-live-preview-04-09',
   // Configure the model to respond with audio
   config: LiveGenerationConfig(responseModalities: [ResponseModality.audio]), //should be ResponseModalities
);

_session = await model.connect();

final audioRecordStream = _audioRecorder.startRecordingStream();
// Map the Uint8List stream to InlineDataPart stream
final mediaChunkStream = audioRecordStream.map((data) {
  return InlineDataPart('audio/pcm', data);
});
await _session.startMediaStream(mediaChunkStream); //no method called startMediaStreamExists

// In a separate thread, receive the audio response from the model
await for (final message in _session.receive()) {
   // Process the received message 

///HOW??? HOW DO WE PROCESS THE MESSAGE??????
}```

Hi @colbymaloy, could you link me the documentation you're referencing? In the meantime, you can have a look at this example which captures how you pass audio to a model.

Hi @SelaseKay , the example you shared is something different from what we want to achieve.

https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/live-api#audio-in-audio-out

we want to make realtime talk with Gemini, not recording audio and sending it as Content

[colbymaloy]

example

yes here is the link to the page which references methods that dont exist: https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/live-api#audio-in-audio-out

@kevinthecheung Could we review and possibly update this documentation in light of the concerns raised above? It appears some of the referenced methods do not exist.

yep struggling a bit here as well without examples. its technically working for me but it seems to be just speaking gibberish back to me (switching languages, many back-to-back AI speech with no user speech, etc)

I was able to solve all the issues and ended up writing a blog post about it on Medium. You can take a look there if you’re interested.
