Google Gemini for Definer
What is Google Gemini?
Google Gemini is a family of artificial intelligence models developed by Google. These models can understand and generate text, images, code, and more based on the prompts you give them. Gemini can help you with various tasks like answering questions, summarizing information, generating creative content, solving problems, and having natural conversations.
Think of Gemini as a very smart digital assistant that can understand context and provide helpful responses to your queries.
What is the Google Gemini API?
The Google Gemini API (Application Programming Interface) is simply a way for applications like Definer to connect with Google's Gemini AI models. It allows our extension to send your queries to Gemini and get responses back.
In simpler terms, the API is like a messenger that carries your question to Google's AI and brings back the answer to show in the Definer extension.
Good News: Some Models are Free!
Google offers some Gemini models for free with rate limits. This means you can use these models without paying, but there's a limit to how many requests you can make within a certain timeframe. For most casual users, these free limits are more than sufficient for everyday use.
