Regarding the next objectives, here are some thoughts about what needs to be done and some could be done in parallel.

• Need sq inventory api to be added. I have done some there. I'll run that down to completion.
• Need order/payment api to be handled. I've done nothing, but its the next thing after inventory
• Need google payments api to be investigated. Anyone could look into how to use this.
• Need to do a simple vertex AI api usage. I'm thinking the easiest thing to do is: generate descriptive text given a prompt for the item for sale. "please write a brief product description for a Dr Doom 6" poseable figure doll". Afterwards the result is passed to the sq upsert description field.
• Need a more complex invocation of vertex ai api. Perhaps something along the lines of a chatbot.

• Q "Please tell me what you have for sale?".
• A "Inventory includes categories: Tshirts, Posters, Poseable figures, Marvel, Lord of the Rings"
• Q "Show me the Marvel items"
• Q "provides a link to the online store for the Marvel category"

• 5. Need to resume work on the python web app to transition what we do in notebooks to the webapp.
  This task requires knowledge and work in multiple areas:

• hosting the app
• backend work to integrate the rest api's to goog and sq
• frontend work html,css, javascript to use user input to send requests to the app
• need to figure out how to do image loading, Do we load files from users clients disk and load directly to sq api or load to gcp cloud storage and then pass url to sq api?

Understand how to create a Square storefront.

• Add a entry to list a item for sale
• Add a capability to order a item
• Understand how to specify payment option using Gpay
