How to connect your LINE chatbot to GEMINI (GEN AI) without writing a single code.

In recent years, many major companies including Open AI, Microsoft, Meta, Google and many others have advanced their artificial intelligence development by launching their AI chatbots. Recently, Google has gained a head start in the AI race by launching a new model called “Gemini”. With the ability to make decisions, give good answers and think carefully when answering more difficult and complex questions, it is an amazing AI that users can integrate into their own system.

What is Chat Gemini?

Gemini is a multi-model AI that is an evolution of a previous project from Google formerly known as Bard, a chatbot that was first unveiled on February 6, 2023. With this rebrand, the new Google chatbot promises a variety of features and functionalities that are much more accurate, nuanced and intuitive. It has the amazing ability to support normal text, code, audio, image and video data types.

Note: Make sure you only use the free version. Google can use this data to improve its AI, so don't share any sensitive data or company information.

How to connect Gemini to the chatbot?

For us casual users, the most interesting part of Gemini is the possibility of integrating Google Gemini into our mobile app that can significantly enhance app functionality and user interaction. For example, what happens if we connect Gemini with LINE, an instant messaging app that we’re all familiar with? What new features can you explore?

Below you can see an example of connecting LINE Chatbot to Gemini. It takes less than 10 minutes and only four steps if done through BOTNOI's chatbot system.

Step 1: Create an API key

First, let’s head Google AI Studio if you have never signed up for an account here before. A page with the terms of use will appear, which you can accept. Note that you have to agree on the first section to gain access. Agree to the terms of use as requested. A box will also appear where you can voluntarily sign up to receive news, updates and invitations.

Steps to get the API key from Google AI Studio:
