We can use Google Gemini's [native video input](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/vision?lang=python#prompting-video) capabilities to ask questions about [a video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXuIBHO4qa8).
In this example, we upload a video file using Gemini's file API, and then pass the result using the [GenericArtifact](../reference/griptape/artifacts/generic_artifact.md) to the Agent.
Note that because we are using Gemini-specific features, this will not work with other [Prompt Drivers](../griptape-framework/drivers/prompt-drivers.md).

                             Output: At 19 seconds, a futuristic, four-legged robotic vehicle descends from the sky in a misty forest. The vehicle resembles a mechanical
                             spider or insect, with a rounded central body and powerful-looking legs. It hovers slightly above the ground, emitting two bright beams of
                             light from its underside. The scene has a slightly eerie and mysterious atmosphere, with the fog and bare trees adding to the sense of
                             otherworldliness.
