Google AI Studio is a browser-based prototyping environment designed for developers to experiment with Gemini models. It streamlines the process of creating prompts, tuning models, and integrating AI into applications.
Unlike the consumer-facing Gemini chat, AI Studio gives you granular control over model parameters (temperature, safety settings) and allows you to export your prompts directly as code (Python, JavaScript, cURL, etc.). It is the gateway to the Gemini API.
Key Highlights:
- Fast Prototyping: Test prompts and multimodal inputs instantly.
- Code Export: Get API code snippets for your app in seconds.
- Free Tier: Generous free tier for testing and development.
Verdict: The essential workbench for any developer building with Google's AI models.
