About Google AI Studio
Google AI Studio is a web workspace for trying Google's Gemini models and turning prompts into working apps. It is also where you create API keys for the Gemini API.
What it does
You can test models in a browser and adjust settings before writing any code. When a prompt works well, you can move to the Gemini API and the official SDKs. The site also hosts a gallery of sample apps that you can remix and adapt for your own use.
Key features
- Browser testing for Gemini models
- API key creation and usage monitoring
- Official SDKs for several languages
- Function calling with search and maps grounding
- Gallery of sample apps to remix
Who it's for
- Developers prototyping AI features before a full build
- Students and hobbyists learning how prompts behave

Pricing and good to know
The studio is a free place to start, and the Gemini API has its own usage terms and rate limits. Limits and available models can change over time, so check the pricing page before you rely on a specific quota. You sign in with a Google account to use the workspace and to manage keys.
