Google AI Studio
Google AI Studio is Google’s place to try Gemini models and experiment with prompts and, when you are ready, to build with the Gemini API. Google describes it as the fastest path from prompt to production with Gemini.
What Google AI Studio does
- Lets you quickly try out models and experiment with different prompts.
- Offers several prompt interfaces for different uses, including chat prompts, realtime streaming and video generation.
- Has a Run settings panel for model parameters and safety settings, and toggles for tools such as structured output, function calling, code execution and grounding.
- Gives you code for what you built: select Get code, pick your language and use the Gemini API.
What people use it for
Try a prompt before you build
Test how a model responds, change the settings and see the effect straight away.
Build a custom chat application
Google’s quickstart walks through chat prompts as the basis for a conversational application.
Move from experiment to code
When a prompt works, take its code into your own project with the Gemini API.
Who it suits
- Developers and makers who want to prototype with Gemini models before writing an application.
- Anyone who wants to experiment with prompts and settings before writing code.
Plans and access
Google’s documentation describes AI Studio as the place to try models, and the Gemini API as what you use when you are ready to build. Models, limits and prices change, so read Google’s current terms before you build something you depend on.
