Google AI Studio
Google's free browser-based playground for building with Gemini AI models without writing code.
What is Google AI Studio?
Google AI Studio is Google's free browser-based interface for experimenting with Gemini models.
You can test prompts, upload files (images, videos, PDFs), tune model settings, and generate code snippets for your app. No API setup required to start.
Most builders use it to prototype AI features before moving to production code. You can build chat interfaces, structured data extraction, or multimodal workflows (text + image + video) all in one place. When you're ready to ship, it generates Python, JavaScript, or cURL code you can copy straight into your project.
Completely free with generous rate limits. When you need more capacity, you can upgrade to a paid API key without changing your code.
