This page lists Google Cloud APIs that are recommended for using Gemini Cloud Assist. For information about setting up Gemini Cloud Assist, see Set up Gemini Cloud Assist.
Overview
In order to support questions and requests about your Google Cloud resources, Gemini Cloud Assist sometimes uses other Google Cloud APIs. If such an API isn't enabled, Gemini Cloud Assist can still provide responses to you, but the responses might be more limited in their depth or completeness.
If you enable Gemini Cloud Assist using the Google Cloud console, you are given the option to enable recommended APIs as part of the process. If you enable Gemini Cloud Assist using a tool such as Google Cloud CLI, you must enable each API separately. If you don't enable recommended APIs when you first enable Gemini Cloud Assist, you can enable them at a later time.
