# Google AI Studio

> Browser-based playground for prototyping with Gemini models. Try prompts, manage API keys, export working code, and move to production via the Gemini API or Vertex AI.

Google AI Studio is a web UI for developers to prototype with Gemini models before wiring them into apps. You can create freeform, chat, and structured prompts; test multimodal inputs (text + images, and video where supported); adjust parameters and safety settings; and then **Get code** to export a working snippet for Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, or Java. AI Studio also issues Gemini API keys and provides guardrails like content filters and system prompts. When you outgrow the playground, you can shift to the Gemini API or export/sync to Vertex AI for enterprise deployment, monitoring, and governance.

**What makes it useful**
- Zero-setup browser interface to explore Gemini capabilities and iterate on prompts
- Built‑in code export for multiple SDKs + quickstart docs to go from prompt to app
- Free usage inside the AI Studio UI; paid usage applies when calling the Gemini API
- Path to production via Google AI (Gemini API) or Google Cloud Vertex AI
