Function calling support

[XInTheDark]

Hi, is there any possibility of supporting function calling (beta)? For example, my use case is to add web search capability to the AI.

Some relevant docs & examples:

This is on my roadmap. However, it may take some time to implement, as I am going out on a trip soon.

Here's a roadmap of what I am doing right now:

• Safety Settings (Already on GitHub, not yet published)
• System Prompt (Will be on GitHub soon)
• JSON Schema Response (Haven't started)
• Function Calling (Haven't started)

Quick update!
Safety Settings, System Prompt, and JSON Schema Response have all been deployed in v2.2.

I have not yet started Function Calling, and as I am going on vacation, I may be away for a while. The other reason I am reluctant to start implementing this is that it is quite a major change to the API, and given that the system is still in Beta, and potentially subject to changes, I will likely hold off until they get a stable release.
