The Google Gemini Connector lets Savant authenticate to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using a service account and securely call Gemini models (via Google’s GenAI services) from within Savant workflows.
Features
Can be used with GenAI Agents
Requirements
Following requirements must be met to establish the connection between Savant and Google Gemini Connector
A GCP project with billing enabled
Permissions to manage APIs, IAM, and service accounts in that project
Savant IP addresses whitelisted.
Permissions:
Vertex AI User (recommended baseline)
Add additional roles only if your org requires them for your specific usage (for example, broader Vertex AI permissions)
Connection Methods
Savant connects to Google Gemini using a service account JSON key that you generate in GCP and upload/paste into Savant.
JSON Key Method
Step 1: Set up GCP (Project ID, Location, Service Account JSON)
Open Google Cloud Console
Use the project selector (top bar) to choose your project
Copy the Project ID (for example: )
Step 2: Enable required APIs
In GCP:
Go to APIs & Services
Click Enable APIs and services
Enable the relevant Gemini/GenAI APIs for your project (commonly includes Gemini/Vertex AI related APIs)
Step 3: Create a Service Account
Go to IAM & Admin → Service Accounts
Click Create Service Account
Enter:
Service account name
Service account ID
(Optional) description
Continue and assign the required role(s) (start with Vertex AI User)
Step 4: Generate a JSON Key for the Service Account
Open the created service account
Go to the Keys tab
Click Add key → Create new key
Select JSON
Download the file
Step 5:
In Savant, go to Systems page
Select Google Gemini
Enter the following:
GCP Project ID- Copied Earlier
Location- Select from the dropdown based on GCP Instance
Service Account Credentials- JSON key copied. Can be uploaded as well
Troubleshooting:
Verify the GCP Project ID in Savant matches the project selected in the GCP Console.
Confirm the Location (region) you entered is valid for your setup (for example,
us-central1) and matches where Gemini/Vertex AI is enabled.Make sure the service account JSON key is the correct, unmodified file and that the key hasn’t been deleted or revoked.
Check that the service account has the required IAM roles (start with Vertex AI User) and add only what’s needed if you see permission errors.
Ensure the required Gemini/Vertex AI APIs are enabled and billing/quota is active for the project.
