How to get your Google Gemini API key
In Montagist, your Google Gemini key is used for the AI steps — topic, fact ledger, capture plan, script and storyboard (you can pick a model per step in settings).
Where to get it
Open the Google Gemini key pageaistudio.google.com/apikeyBefore you start
- Mainland China and Hong Kong are not among the regions where the Gemini API is available.
- The first time you open Google AI Studio and accept the terms, a project and a key are created for you.
Create the key
- Open the API keys page in Google AI Studio.
- Use the default key or click Create API key for a new one.
- Copy the key and paste it into Montagist.
Connect it to Montagist
- In Montagist, open Settings › Connections › Models and find the Google Gemini card.
- Paste the key; Montagist recognizes the provider from how the key starts.
- Click Test connection: it runs in the cloud and shows the result and timing, with a plain explanation if it fails.
