Google AI Studio
Google’s web-based playground for testing Gemini models including Gemini 3.1 Flash Live and Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6. Provides a free, no-API-key environment to build simple voice agents with saved system instructions, voice selection, thinking levels and function calling, and a developer surface for trying embodied reasoning prompts.
Key facts
- Free tier requires no API key but uses your data for product improvement
- Switch to ‘Live’ in the model dropdown to reach Gemini 3.1 Flash Live Preview
- Supports saving named system instruction presets (persona + style) that can be swapped mid-session
- Exposes toggles for voice, media resolution, thinking level (off/low/medium/high), session context, function calling and Google search grounding
- Functions as the lowest-friction starting point before jumping to the Gemini Live API
- Google DeepMind says Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 is available in Google AI Studio, with a developer Colab for configuring the model and prompting embodied reasoning tasks [src-039]
