Docs overview
Google AI Studio (web) and the Gemini API (code) are two sides of one ecosystem: experiment free in AI Studio, then wire the API into your app.
Learning path
- Quickstart: get an API key and make your first request in five minutes.
- Model capability matrix: understand input/output boundaries across text, image, video, and audio.
- Multimodal practice: image understanding, document parsing, video summarization — the core difference vs text-only models.
- Safety & quotas: content settings and rate limits in engineering terms.
For cross-border teams
- Validate scenarios free in AI Studio before paying.
- Multimodal suits product-image analysis, document OCR, and video content ops.
- Assess data compliance per market before sending enterprise data to Google.

AllModelsAPIOne key for many models
AllModelsAPI is a multi-model API gateway: one key reaches many models through an OpenAI-compatible interface — point your existing code at a new base URL and you're migrated. It's not a demo: our own production workloads run on it every day.
