Google AI Studio - Free Gemini Developer Playground
Google AI Studio provides free access to Gemini 2.5 Pro and Flash with multimodal inputs, Google Search grounding, and instant API key generation for developers.
Google AI Studio lets developers and other builders experiment with Gemini through chat, multimodal prompts, real-time streaming, video generation, and other interfaces. It includes controls for model parameters, safety settings, structured output, function calling, code execution, and grounding.
Users can export generated code, obtain Gemini API keys, build full-stack and native Android apps, connect Google Workspace data, and deploy applications. The free tier has model and rate limits; higher limits, advanced models, and production use are usage-based and may require billing.

- Test Gemini models with chat, multimodal prompts, video generation, and real-time streaming
- Adjust model parameters and safety settings
- Use structured output, function calling, code execution, and grounding
- Generate application code with the Get code function
- Create full-stack applications with Firebase integrations
