About Google AI Studio

Google AI Studio is Google's developer platform for building with Gemini models. In the web interface, you can directly try out a variety of model capabilities, including image generation, video generation, controllable text-to-speech, real-time speech and video interaction, and professional-grade music generation. You can also obtain an API key, manage keys in one place, and monitor resource usage, then integrate the Gemini API into your own applications via official SDKs (Python, JavaScript, Go, Java, C++). The platform offers a free tier and a paid tier: the free tier is aimed at developers and small projects getting started with the Gemini API, offering limited access to some models, free input and output tokens, and access to Google AI Studio, but content used to improve products may be used by Google; the paid tier is aimed at production applications that need higher usage and advanced features, and is billed by token usage.
