Get Your API Key
To use the application, you will need a personal Gemini API key. Here's a quick guide on how to obtain one:
- Go to the Google AI Studio: Navigate to the Google AI for Developers website.
- Sign in: Sign in with your Google Account.
- Create API Key: On the left-hand navigation panel, click on "Get API key".
- Copy the key: Click the "Create API key in new project" button. Your new API key will be displayed. You can copy this key and paste it directly into the input field in the application. Your API key will be stored by your browser, so you don't need to fill it in every time you use the application.
Your API key is unique to you and should be kept private. It allows the application to access the Gemini model to generate its intelligent responses.
