Google Gemini

The Google Gemini integration integrate’s Google’s Gemini AI model directly into Glide apps. Gemini is a generative AI tool built on large language models. You can read more about Gemini and the available models here.

Adding the Integration

To add the integration, you’ll first need a Google account with access to the Gemini web app. If you have a Workspace account, you may not have access. You can review the different types of access from Google here.

Once you have created an API key in Google AI Studio, you can add the integration to your Glide app.

1. In Glide, click the Settings icon in the upper-right corner.

2. Navigate to the Integrations tab and then select Google Gemini.

3. Click the Add to app button.

4. Paste the API key you want to use from Google AI Studio.

5. Click away to exit the configuration.

Generate Text

The Generate Text feature will generate a text output in response to a message input. You can also enable Gemini’s code execution ability in the advanced configuration settings.

The feature can be configured as a column in the Data Editor or as an action in the Layout or Workflow Editor.

5. Select a source for the input Message or enter a custom value.

6. Choose a Gemini model.

7. Select Save.

There are optional advanced settings you can also configure. Max Tokens will limit the maximum number of tokens generated. Adjusting the Temperature will change the randomness or variability of each response. Enabling Code Execution will leverage Gemini’s ability to execute code.

In the Layout Editor

1. Create a column in your data to house the generated result.

2. Click on the plus (+) sign in the Component panel to add a new component that supports actions, or select an existing component to add an action.
