Tool · [Standard tools and platforms](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/tools)

Also called: Function Gemma

A small [Gemma model](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/gemma) from [Google](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/google) tuned to turn plain requests into [function calls](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/tool-use), so an app or device can act on what a person asks.

**For example:** A [developer](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/software-engineer) [fine-tunes](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/fine-tuning) FunctionGemma so a phone app can turn 'remind me at five' into a call to its reminder function.
