Connecting Google PALM (Vertex AI)

Important update: This model is not currently supported by the AI Editor

1. To acquire Vertex AI credentials, head out to the VertexAI dashboard in Google Cloud: https://console.cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative/language/create/chat

   1. First, make sure you have the proper project selected:

   
2. Switch to the IAM and Admin tab using the top-left menu

1. Select existing (go to step 6) or create a new Service Account that will be used in Virbe Dashboard

1. Name your Service Account eg. Virbe Dashboard - it will be easier to identify in case you will want to revoke permissions

1. Grant the necessary `Vertex AI Service Agent` role to this account. Optionally, you can add more, but this one is a must to make it work with Virbe Dashboard.

1. Open the selected or newly created Service Account.

1. Head out to Keys Tab to create a new Private Key. Make sure to save the private key as JSON.

   
2. Save the key and open it in any Text/Code editor

1. Copy the content of the JSON file to the Virbe Dashboard for your configuration view. Make sure you didn't add extra or remove any characters - a corrupted JSON file will prevent Virbe from using it, thus resulting in a speaking error.
