Adding the Integration
To add the integration, you’ll first need a Google account with access to the Gemini web app. If you have a Workspace account, you may not have access. You can review the different types of access from Google here.
Once you have created an API key in Google AI Studio, you can add the integration to your Glide app.
In Glide, click the Settings icon in the upper-right corner.
Navigate to the Integrations tab and then select Google Gemini.
Click the Add to app button.
Paste the API key you want to use from Google AI Studio.
Click away to exit the configuration.
Generate Text
The Generate Text feature will generate a text output in response to a message input. You can also enable Gemini’s code execution ability in the advanced configuration settings.
The feature can be configured as a column in the Data Editor or as an action in the Layout or Workflow Editor.
In the Data Editor
In the Data Editor, open the table you want to edit.
Add a new column by clicking the (+) plus symbol to the right of the table.
Give the column a name.
For type, search for Generate Text or navigate to Integrations → Google Gemini → Generate Text.
Note that there are other integrations that have a Generate Text feature. Make sure to pick the correct one.
Select a source for the input Message or enter a custom value.
Choose a Gemini model.
Select Save.
There are optional advanced settings you can also configure. Max Tokens will limit the maximum number of tokens generated. Adjusting the Temperature will change the randomness or variability of each response. Enabling Code Execution will leverage Gemini’s ability to execute code.
In the Layout Editor
Create a column in your data to house the generated result.
Click on the plus (+) sign in the Component panel to add a new component that supports actions, or select an existing component to add an action.
In the General tab on the right side of the Layout Editor, navigate to the Actions section and search for Generate Text or navigate to Integrations → Google Gemini → Generate Text.
