Google Gemini

Shanone’s Gemini integration gives your agent 6 tools for two specialized capabilities the chat model itself doesn’t cover: long-running multi-step research and image generation.

Getting Started

1

Get a Gemini API key

Create an API key from Google AI Studio.
2

Add the key in Shanone

Open Integrations in the Shanone dashboard, select Google Gemini, and paste the API key.
3

Retry your request

Once saved, shanone_execute_tool calls for gemini_* tools will succeed.

Available Tools

Shanone provides 6 tools for Google Gemini, organized into these categories:
gemini_deep_research, gemini_get_research_status
gemini_generate_image

Common Use Cases

In-depth topic research

Kick off gemini_deep_research on a complex question and get a synthesized, cited report back

Concept art & illustrations

Generate an image from a text description for a mockup, blog post, or presentation

Background research jobs

Start a research task and poll gemini_get_research_status while the agent continues other work

Visual asset drafts

Quickly draft several visual concepts to compare before commissioning final artwork

Troubleshooting

Deep research runs asynchronously for complex queries — poll gemini_get_research_status with the returned research ID until it reports completion.
Be explicit about style, composition, and content in the prompt — vague prompts tend to produce generic results; iterate with a refined prompt rather than assuming the first generation is final.
Gemini API keys from Google AI Studio are separate from a Google Cloud service account — confirm the key was generated at aistudio.google.com and reconnect if it was revoked or regenerated.
