PRODUCT OVERVIEW

What is Google AI Studio?

Google AI Studio is Google's developer environment for exploring and building with Gemini, Veo, Nano Banana, Lyria, and related generative models. It combines a prompt playground for text, image, video, speech, and music generation with API key management, official GenAI SDKs, and documentation for the Gemini API. Developers can use tools such as Google Search grounding, code execution, file search, and managed agents to assemble production workflows. Access starts free with limited model availability, while paid usage adds higher rate limits, context caching, Batch API discounts, and advanced models.

Google AI Studio FAQs

Google AI Studio usage is free of charge in all available regions, and the Gemini API has a free tier with limited access to certain models. Paid usage adds higher rate limits and advanced features.

The Free tier offers limited access to certain models and free input and output tokens, with content used to improve Google products. The Paid tier provides higher rate limits, context caching, Batch API access, advanced models, and does not use content to improve Google products.

Paid usage is billed per 1M tokens in USD at model-specific input, output, and context caching rates. Some models have time-limited promotional prices, and the Batch API offers a 50% cost reduction.

The Google GenAI SDK is available for Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, and Java, and is the recommended library for accessing the Gemini API.

Built-in tools include Google Search, Google Maps, code execution, URL context, computer use, and file search, and they can be combined with function calling.

Yes. Nano Banana models generate and edit images, and Veo models create video content from text or image prompts.

Managed Agents give Gemini a workspace to plan and complete tasks, including writing and running code, searching the web, and creating files in a hosted sandbox environment.

You must be 18 or older, and use is intended for developers building with Google AI models for professional or business purposes, not for consumer use.
