What You Get Back

After Gemini processes your request:

Response Text: The AI's generated response
Usage Info: How many tokens were used
Success Status: Whether the request completed successfully

Tips for Success

Be specific in your prompts - Clear instructions get better results
Include context - Give background information when helpful
Use examples - Show what kind of output you want
Adjust temperature - Lower for facts, higher for creativity
Test with real data - Make sure it works with your actual use cases

Troubleshooting

Problem	Likely Cause	Solution
Response too short	Max tokens too low	Increase max tokens setting
Irrelevant answers	Prompt not clear enough	Make your instructions more specific
API errors	Invalid key or quota exceeded	Check your API key and usage limits
Slow responses	Large input or complex request	Use a faster model or simplify

Best Practices

Choose the right model - Use Flash for speed, Pro for quality
Keep prompts focused - One clear task per request works best
Handle errors gracefully - Add fallbacks in your workflow
Monitor usage - Track API calls to manage costs
Protect sensitive data - Be careful what you send to external AI services
