## What it is
The deprecated Google AI JavaScript/TypeScript SDK for the Gemini API, now in limited maintenance with support ending November 30, 2025. Users should migrate to the unified Google Gen AI SDK (googleapis/js-genai).

## Use cases
- call the Gemini API from JavaScript
- generate text with Gemini models in Node.js
- maintain an existing app using the old Google AI JS SDK
- plan migration from deprecated generative-ai-js to the new GenAI SDK
- chat with Gemini from a TypeScript backend

## When to choose
- you have an existing codebase already built on this SDK and need critical bug fixes before migrating
- you need a short-term stability window while planning your migration

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - use the unified Google Gen AI SDK (googleapis/js-genai) instead
- you need new features, latest model support, or long-term support
- your project will still be running after November 30, 2025
