Learn how to build a powerful, AI-powered chat feature for your iOS app! In this video, from the Firebase team shows you how to use Firebase AI Logic to create a conversational interface from scratch.
We'll start by tackling the biggest challenge in AI chat: the "stateless" nature of LLMs. You'll learn why models have no "memory" and how Firebase AI Logic's Chat API (sendMessage) automatically manages conversation history for you, making complex, multi-turn conversations possible.
Using a "Friendly Meals" sample app built with Swift and SwiftUI, you will learn how to:
Set up the Gemini 2.5 Flash model with Firebase.
Use System Instructions to give your AI a unique personality.
Enable multimodal chat (sending images like PNGs and JPEGs).
Implement real-time streaming responses (sendMessageStream) to create a smooth, modern UX and avoid lag.
