Gemini Endpoint
Gemini Endpoint lets you set the address that is needed to connect to the Gemini API.
Gemini Settings found in Company card, Connect Settings tab let you enter the details:
• Description lets you put a name to differentiate multiple entries
• Endpoint is the address of the service
• Project is an optional name Google lets you have for billing
• API Key is the required key assigned for access and billing
Chapter 50 AI
AI helps you generate content--a decription, an image, a message--per your prompting.
Big Business can help automate your successes to help share across your organization. Test in Gemini Settings asks for a description of your city. This works for any city*.
If you want a custom button to ask for a decription, an image, a message, that is easy. You will have already done the hard part, asking AI for the crafted response you want.
* Pictured are responses from Gemini when City is set to San Francisco, Reno, Gotham. The internet says Gotham is fictional, but AI lives by often wrong never in doubt credo.
The point is that the operation reads the relevant data, your City on your Company card, and provides an answer. The same works for others with different cities to get the same.
Once you find a working combination, say using AI Studio, you will want to share to your team to pull in adjectives, or artisitic renderings, without going out to AI Studio.
AI Studio
AI Studio is a free, web-based platform for experimenting with and building with Google's Gemini models. Users can obtain a no-cost Gemini API Key for integration.
Gemini Error
Gemini Error lets you know details to share with support@bigbusiness.com on errors. 28 is a timeout error, the request took too long, but sent in relayed cryptic error codes.
Pictured is a connection timed out, which is not uncommon given Gemini's popularity. Making the request again worked fine, the problem being a standard request takes time.
Of course the error message does not say that in so many words and is instead relaying where the error was encountered (curl), an error number (28), and module (gem_post).
Gemini Test
Gemini Test runs when you click Test in Gemini Settings in your BigBusiness Client. Test uses your city name and asks Gemini to describe [your city] in a few words.
Gemini Settings are in Company card, Connect Setting tab, and require an API Key. Visit Google AI Studio to obtain a no-cost API Key and enter it into Gemini Settings.
Free Tier
Free Tier lets you experiment with Gemini API without any upfront costs. To match, BigBusiness adds a Free Tier button in the Registration for the Gemini Connect plugin.
Using Gemini's paid tiers requires user access control to avoid accidental cost overruns. Free Tier limits usage for testing and BigBusiness enables Free Tier for a year at a time.
BigBusiness will add controls for access to paid-tier API Keys as Google recommends.
Gemini Billing
Gemini Billing is challenging--levied per-use of Gemini API--except when it is free-tier.
