When NOT to use generative-ai
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If you are looking for a platform that supports a wide range of cloud providers beyond Google Cloud.
- When your project does not require the specific features of the Gemini models or the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.
- If your project does not benefit from Google-managed solutions like Agent Search and you prefer to build everything from scratch.
- When you do not need the integration capabilities with Google Cloud services such as Vertex AI and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.
