 This guide helps you migrate from the old Vertex AI-based autoconfiguration to the new Google GenAI SDK-based autoconfiguration.
 
+## Starter Dependencies
+
+Spring AI provides separate starters for Google GenAI functionality:
+
+### Chat Functionality
+```xml
+<dependency>
+    <groupId>org.springframework.ai</groupId>
+    <artifactId>spring-ai-starter-model-google-genai</artifactId>
+    <version>1.1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+### Embedding Functionality
+```xml
+<dependency>
+    <groupId>org.springframework.ai</groupId>
+    <artifactId>spring-ai-starter-model-google-genai-embedding</artifactId>
+    <version>1.1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+**Note**: If you need both chat and embedding capabilities, include both starters in your project. The starters are designed to be used independently or together based on your requirements.

+## Overview
+
+The Google GenAI Embeddings module provides text embedding generation using Google's embedding models through either the Gemini Developer API or Vertex AI.
+
+## Current Support
+
+Please note that at this time the *spring-ai-google-genai-embedding* module supports **text embeddings only**.
+
+This is due to the fact that the Google GenAI SDK currently supports text embeddings only, with multimodal embeddings support pending.
+
+## Starter Dependency
+
+```xml
+<dependency>
+    <groupId>org.springframework.ai</groupId>
+    <artifactId>spring-ai-starter-model-google-genai-embedding</artifactId>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+## Manual Configuration
+
+```xml
+<dependency>
+    <groupId>org.springframework.ai</groupId>
+    <artifactId>spring-ai-google-genai-embedding</artifactId>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+## Authentication Modes
+
+The module supports two authentication modes:
+- **Gemini Developer API**: Use an API key for quick prototyping
+- **Vertex AI**: Use Google Cloud credentials for production deployments
+
+See the [documentation](https://docs.spring.io/spring-ai/reference/api/embeddings/google-genai-embeddings-text.html) for detailed configuration instructions.
