Setup Guide: Gemini via Google API
Follow this guide to get Gemini working smoothly on JanitorAI
⚠️ A Quick Word About Gemini Bans
Using Google's Gemini API for roleplay or NSFW content can technically violate their terms. That said:
- Getting banned only blocks you from using the Gemini API, it won’t affect your Google account, Gmail, or other services.
- Many users report not getting banned even after heavy content.
- Google allows up to 4 accounts per phone number. If you're worried, create an alt to keep your main account safe.
🔧 Important Settings Before You Begin.
- Check if Gemini is available in your country
- Turn OFF text streaming, Gemini struggles with it enabled.
- Temperature: Best between 0.6 and 1.0. Test what works for you.
- Context Window: Set to 16 or 32k.
- Tokens: Set to 0 for default behaviour.
- Rerolls and Errors: Each reroll or failed attempt still counts against your message limit.
