# VertexAIImageQA
This component enables text generation (image captioning) using Google Vertex AI generative models.
| | |
| --- | --- |
| **Mandatory run variables** | “image”: A [`ByteStream`](/docs/data-classes#bytestresm) containing an image data <br /> <br />”question”: A string of a question about the image |
| **Output variables** | “replies”: A list of strings containing answers generated by the model |
| **API reference** | [Google Vertex](/reference/integrations-google-vertex) |
| **GitHub link** | https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack-core-integrations/tree/main/integrations/google_vertex |
`VertexAIImageQA` supports the `imagetext` model.
### Parameters Overview
`VertexAIImageQA` uses Google Cloud Application Default Credentials (ADCs) for authentication. For more information on how to set up ADCs, see the [official documentation](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/provide-credentials-adc).
Keep in mind that its essential to use an account that has access to a project authorized to use Google Vertex AI endpoints.
You can find your project ID in the [GCP resource manager](https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-resource-manager) or locally by running `gcloud projects list` in your terminal. For more info on the gcloud CLI, see its [official documentation](https://cloud.google.com/cli).
## Usage
You need to install `google-vertex-haystack` package to use the `VertexAIImageQA`:
```python
pip install google-vertex-haystack
```
### On its own
Basic usage:
```python
from haystack.dataclasses.byte_stream import ByteStream
from haystack_integrations.components.generators.google_vertex import VertexAIImageQA
qa = VertexAIImageQA()
image = ByteStream.from_file_path("dog.jpg")
res = qa.run(image=image, question="What color is this dog")
print(res["replies"][0])
```
You can also set the number of answers generated:
```python
from haystack.dataclasses.byte_stream import ByteStream
from haystack_integrations.components.generators.google_vertex import VertexAIImageQA
qa = VertexAIImageQA(
number_of_results=3,
)
image = ByteStream.from_file_path("dog.jpg")
res = qa.run(image=image, question="Tell me something about this dog")
for answer in res["replies"]:
print(answer)
```
