Nº 02 — Google Gemini
Gemini Lab
Multimodal intelligence, brought to bear on the precision of thought and craft.
A knowledge base for Google Gemini, the Gemini API and Google AI Studio, written for everyone from people who use Gemini for everyday research and documents to developers building it into their apps.
Not only the answer, but the order in which to check.
About
Gemini works not only with text but with images, audio and even operating a screen. Because its range is so wide, it can be hard to see what each plan includes, or which API to choose.
Gemini Lab untangles those questions one at a time. Rather than stating only the conclusion, each article lists where to check, from the top down, so you can keep it open while you work. Previews arrive and end quickly, so the top of the site keeps a dated list of models nearing retirement and upcoming price changes.
The range runs from everyday research and Gemini in Gmail and Google Workspace to development with the Gemini API and Google AI Studio, and building agents. Articles are marked from beginner to advanced, so that non-engineers and developers alike can start from whatever fits them now.
Most articles include code I ran and checked myself. More in-depth guides are collected as premium articles for members, and free articles can be read without signing up. The site can also be read in Japanese.
