Proposal to Support Function Call Feature in Gemini Pro (Referencing Google AI Documentation)

[kkdai]

Hello Team,

I've been following the development of Gemini Pro with great interest, especially with the recent introduction of the function call feature currently in beta. This functionality seems to be a promising addition to the project.

As an active user and contributor to the community, I am curious about the future plans regarding this feature. Specifically, I would like to know if there are any intentions to support the function call conventions as outlined in the Google AI documentation.

For your reference, the documentation can be found here: Google AI Function Calling Documentation

Supporting the standards and conventions described in the documentation could enhance interoperability with other systems and tools that follow the same guidelines, potentially broadening the use cases and user base for Gemini Pro.

I am looking forward to your thoughts on this and would be happy to contribute to the discussion or development of this feature.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
