Apigee Vertex AI Agents Demo - using the Maps Solar API in conversations

[tyayers]

Hi everyone, Here is a simple use-case, lab & demo of using Apigee together with Vertex Agents for LLM-powered chat with API superpowers. Vertex Agents can now use Tools, including Open API specs, to automatically pull in external data & services into conversations, which is great because this addresses a key issue with LLMs - their lack of real-time knowledge. We can address this using APIs for specific topics, similarly to how Workspace, YouTube & Google Flights can be used from within Gemini conversations.

Here is the GitHub repository with Codelab: https://github.com/tyayers/apigee-genai-solar-demo
