Gemini (Google)

Billing: Google AI Studio offers a free tier for many users; heavier use may require enabling billing in Google Cloud for your project

1. Open Google AI Studio: aistudio.google.com/apikey
2. Sign in with your Google account
3. Click "Get API key" or "Create API key"
4. Choose an existing Google Cloud project or create a new one when prompted
5. Copy the API key shown — you can view it again later in AI Studio unlike some providers
6. If you hit rate or quota errors later, check Google Cloud billing for that project

Open Gemini (Google) key page →

The key usually looks like: AIza… (Google API key format)

1. Sign in at the Airbox dashboard (airbox.fyi/dashboard)
2. In the Connections card, click "+ LLM provider"
3. When asked for the provider type, enter: gemini
4. When asked for your API key, paste the key you copied — it is encrypted and never shown again
5. When asked for a model, press Enter to accept the default or type a model name (see this page's default)
6. You should now see "gemini" listed under Connections

Open the dashboard in a new tab if you want to follow along

Your Airbox address does not use a connection until you attach one:

1. In the Inboxes card, find your Airbox address
2. Click the gear icon (⚙) on that address to open routing settings
3. Under "AI, LLM or MCP provider", choose the connection you just added from the dropdown
4. Leave "Email a reply back" checked if you want results in your inbox (recommended)
5. Click "Save"
