Chroma provides a convenient wrapper around Google’s Generative AI embedding API. This embedding function runs remotely on Google’s servers, and requires an API key. You can get an API key by signing up for an account at Google AI Studio.
This embedding function relies on the google-genai python package, which you can install with pip install google-genai.
# import
import chromadb.utils.embedding_functions as embedding_functions

# The GoogleGenaiEmbeddingFunction expects the API key in the GOOGLE_API_KEY environment variable.
google_ef  = embedding_functions.GoogleGenaiEmbeddingFunction(model_name="models/gemini-embedding-001")
google_ef(["document1","document2"])

# pass documents to query for .add and .query
collection = client.create_collection(name="name", embedding_function=google_ef)
collection = client.get_collection(name="name", embedding_function=google_ef)
