With seamless integration with the Gemini API, the possibilities for crafting smart, efficient applications for Android, iOS, web, macOS, Windows, and Linux are endless, all from one unified code base.

What Can You Create?

Generative AI is a powerhouse for realizing your app and business aspirations. With the Gemini model’s multimodal capabilities, combining text and images, you’re only limited by your imagination. Wondering what you can achieve with the Gemini API? Here are some ideas for features to add to your Dart or Flutter app:

  • Text summaries of lengthy articles, research papers, or web content.
  • Build captivating, human-like chatbots to enhance user engagement.
  • Create a visual search engine where users can upload images and receive detailed descriptions and even style suggestions.
  • Generate text descriptions of uploaded images to aid visually impaired users.

Getting Started:

Follow the Dart Quick Start guide for a step-by-step walkthrough. Here’s a quick overview:
