Google Gemini
Google Gemini is a cloud provider of language models. The assistant sends your question and the graph to Google Gemini over a secure connection and gets the answer back. You need a key from Google Gemini, and Google Gemini bills you for what you use; the price depends on the model and on how long the questions and answers are. Settings ▸ Assistant shows what the two suggested models cost, with the date of the prices; the provider's bill is the truth. See Which model to take.
How to set it up
- Create a key in your account on Google Gemini's site (aistudio.google.com). Copy it.
- In the app: Settings ▸ Assistant ▸ Google Gemini.
- Paste the key into Google Gemini key. The app checks it at once: "Checking the key with the provider…", then "Key accepted: 24 models are available. It is kept while the app is open."
- To keep it after a restart, tick Remember on this computer (the system keychain). See Keys and where they are kept.
- Model: pick from the list the key opened. Which model to take under the field suggests two: To start
gemini-3.5-flash-lite($0.30 per million tokens sent, $2.50 per million received) and For long buildsgemini-4-hydrogen($1.50 and $7.50). Prices as of 14 November 2026. Choose a model that can call tools. - Test connection: "The model answered in 900 ms."
- Save settings.
The card Google Gemini then shows Ready (or Key for this session when the key is not remembered).
Server address
Leave Server address (optional) empty: the app uses Google Gemini's official address. Fill it only for your own proxy, and only with https. A key works only with the address it was pasted for: "This key was pasted for … and is never sent to another address. For the address above, paste its own key."
Web search
Its own search for Gemini 3 models on the official address, billed separately (about $14 per 1000 searches); for earlier models the app searches the web itself. You can turn it off: Settings ▸ Assistant ▸ Allow web search. See Web search and pages.
