Gemini provides the language model, using an API key from Google AI Studio.

Getting an API key

  1. Go to Google AI Studio.
  2. Sign in and create an API key.
  3. Pick a Google Cloud project when prompted, then copy the key.

Adding the connection

  1. Go to Connections and choose Gemini.
  2. Paste the API key.
  3. Save.

What you can select afterwards

Choose your models on Model Configurations. Language model — start with a flash model and move to pro only if the agent struggles with your prompt. A slow reply is heard as hesitation. See Google’s model list. Choose Vertex AI when you need Google Cloud billing, IAM controls, or data kept in a specific region.

Troubleshooting

Confirm you copied it from Google AI Studio rather than from the Google Cloud console. A Google Cloud service account is a different credential and belongs on the Google Cloud connection.
This connection drives the language model only. Voices come from Google Cloud or Gemini TTS, each connected separately.
