What is Google AI Studio?
Google AI Studio is a web-based platform for AI developers provided by Google. You can directly test Google's latest AI models including Gemini 2.0 Flash and Gemini 2.5 Pro in your browser, with prompt design, testing, and API key generation all in one environment. Google AI Studio is designed for rapid prototyping with Gemini models. It offers three modes — chat, freeform, and structured prompts — for designing and testing prompts, which can then be used directly via API. Features include long-context processing with 1M+ token context windows, multimodal input (images, audio, video), and code execution. The generous free tier makes it ideal for individual developers and startups building AI applications at low cost. Integration with Google Cloud enables smooth transition from prototype to production.
