While you can use the App Prototyping agent
to automatically create a new app prototype with the Gemini API, you can
also launch a blank canvas with the
Gemini Developer API through one click of
a button. Start using the latest generative AI models from Google in your
app with a template that includes all the Gemini API infrastructure you
need. All you need to do is add your
Gemini API key and get coding!
Build a new app with the Gemini API pre-loaded
Access the Firebase StudioGemini API template from the
templates dashboard and build with the power of AI.
Select the language and framework for your environment. The
Gemini API template
in Firebase Studio is available in JavaScript (with Vite or
Genkit) and Python (notebook or web app with Flask), with more
languages and frameworks coming soon.
(Optional) If you want to add the
LangChain
framework to your app, select the Use LangChain option.
When your workspace loads, open the main.js or
main.py file and update
the API_KEY variable with your Gemini API key from Google AI Studio.
Test the base app in the web preview panel to watch the Gemini API in
action, and modify your new Gemini API app accordingly.
Add the Gemini API to an existing app
You can also add the Gemini API to your existing app directly from
Firebase Studio.
