Quick Start

Prerequisites

API Key Setup: Supports both Google AI Studio and Vertex AI.

The skill checks for GEMINI_API_KEY in this order:

1. Process environment: export GEMINI_API_KEY="your-key"
2. Project root: .env
3. .factory/.env
4. .factory/skills/.env
5. .factory/skills/ai-multimodal/.env

Get API key: https://aistudio.google.com/apikey

For Vertex AI:

export GEMINI_USE_VERTEX=true
export VERTEX_PROJECT_ID=your-gcp-project-id

Install SDK:

pip install google-genai python-dotenv pillow

Common Patterns

Transcribe Audio:

python scripts/gemini_batch_process.py \
  --files audio.mp3 \
  --task transcribe \
  --model gemini-2.5-flash

Analyze Image:

python scripts/gemini_batch_process.py \
  --files image.jpg \
  --task analyze \
  --prompt "Describe this image" \
  --output docs/assets/<output-name>.md \
  --model gemini-2.5-flash

Process Video:

python scripts/gemini_batch_process.py \
  --files video.mp4 \
  --task analyze \
  --prompt "Summarize key points with timestamps" \
  --output docs/assets/<output-name>.md \
  --model gemini-2.5-flash

Extract from PDF:

python scripts/gemini_batch_process.py \
  --files document.pdf \
  --task extract \
  --prompt "Extract table data as JSON" \
  --output docs/assets/<output-name>.md \
  --format json

Generate Image:

python scripts/gemini_batch_process.py \
  --task generate \
  --prompt "A futuristic city at sunset" \
  --output docs/assets/<output-file-name> \
  --model gemini-2.5-flash-image \
  --aspect-ratio 16:9

Optimize Media:

# Prepare large video for processing
python scripts/media_optimizer.py \
  --input large-video.mp4 \
  --output docs/assets/<output-file-name> \
  --target-size 100MB

# Batch optimize multiple files
python scripts/media_optimizer.py \
  --input-dir ./videos \
  --output-dir docs/assets/optimized \
  --quality 85

Convert Documents to Markdown:

# Convert to PDF
python scripts/document_converter.py \
  --input document.docx \
  --output docs/assets/document.md

# Extract pages
python scripts/document_converter.py \

• Pro TTS: $20/1M tokens

Best Practices

1. Use gemini-2.5-flash for most tasks (best price/performance)
2. Use File API for files >20MB or repeated queries
3. Optimize media before upload (see media_optimizer.py)
4. Process specific segments instead of full videos
5. Use lower FPS for static content
6. Implement context caching for repeated queries
7. Batch process multiple files in parallel

Rate Limits

Free Tier:

• 10-15 RPM (requests per minute)
• 1M-4M TPM (tokens per minute)
• 1,500 RPD (requests per day)

YouTube Limits:

• Free tier: 8 hours/day
• Paid tier: No length limits
• Public videos only

Storage Limits:

• 20GB per project
• 2GB per file
• 48-hour retention

Error Handling

Common errors and solutions:

• 400: Invalid format/size - validate before upload
• 401: Invalid API key - check configuration
• 403: Permission denied - verify API key restrictions
• 404: File not found - ensure file uploaded and active
• 429: Rate limit exceeded - implement exponential backoff
• 500: Server error - retry with backoff
