AI Key

BYOK

AIsh.li customers on our Enterprise plan can Bring Your Own Key (BYOK):

  1. Generate your Gemini API Key on Google AI Studio's API Keys page.
  2. Navigate to the Secrets page on the AIsh.li website.
  3. Enter a new secret with GEMINI_API_KEY as Secret ID, and paste your Gemini API key as the Secret Value.

Your AIsh.li agents will now execute model requests using your own Google credentials, bypassing AIsh.li credit consumption.

Note

This configuration refers to your Google AI Studio Gemini API key. It is completely separate from your AIsh.li API Key, which is used to authenticate with AIsh.li platform endpoints.

Free Tier

Google AI Studio provides a free tier to access the Gemini API.

This tier is intended primarily for initial experimentation, prototyping, and personal evaluation.

Important limitations and privacy considerations:

  • Data Usage & Human Review: Under Google's free-tier terms, Google may log, review (including via human reviewers), and use both your prompts (inputs) and generated responses (outputs) to train and improve its machine-learning models and products.
  • Rate Limits: Free-tier keys are subject to strict limits on requests per minute (RPM), tokens per minute (TPM), and requests per day (RPD).
  • Compliance & Privacy Risk: If your agents process confidential, proprietary, or personal data (such as visitor messages via embeddable chat widgets), using a free-tier key may violate your privacy policies or data protection obligations (such as GDPR or confidentiality agreements) due to Google's human review and model training terms.

For production workloads and business use, we strongly recommend enabling billing in Google AI Studio (or Google Cloud) to upgrade your Gemini API key to a Paid tier:

  • Enterprise Privacy & Zero Training: Paid commercial tier usage is governed by Google Cloud's commercial terms, ensuring that Google does not use your prompts or responses to train AI models, and human reviewers do not access your data.
  • Higher Throughput & Reliability: Removes daily request quotas and provides significantly higher RPM and TPM limits.
  • Commercial Compliance: Allows you to confidently and compliantly use AIsh.li with a BYOK key for production agents and customer-facing chat widgets.
