Complete Setup Guide

I

Get Your Google API Key

First, you'll need to obtain an API key from Google. This key allows you to access their AI models directly and pay only for what you use.

  1. Visit Google's API console
  2. Sign up or log in to your account
  3. Navigate to the API keys section
  4. Generate a new API key (copy it immediately as some providers only show it once)
  5. Save your API key in a secure password manager or encrypted note

Sometimes, this provider will require you to add a payment method to your account before you can use your API key to chat with AI. So, to avoid any hiccups, make sure you've got a payment method set up and ready to go!

Important: Keep your API key secure and never share it publicly. Store it safely as you'll need it to connect with TypingMind.

The quickest way. TypingMind already has Google set up, so you only need to add your API key.

  1. Open TypingMind and click "Models" in the left sidebar.
  2. Search for Google.
  3. Click the settings (gear) button next to Google.
