The official Google Gen AI SDK for TypeScript and JavaScript, providing access to the Gemini Developer API and Vertex AI (Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform). It supports Gemini 2.0+ features including content generation, streaming, chats, function calling, and live connections.

Use cases

• generate text with gemini from node.js
• build a chatbot using the gemini api in typescript
• call vertex ai gemini models from javascript
• stream gemini responses in a web app backend
• implement function calling with gemini
• integrate google ai into a nodejs application

When to choose

• you are a TypeScript/JavaScript developer building apps on Gemini or Vertex AI
• you need official, up-to-date SDK support for Gemini 2.0+ features
• you want both Gemini Developer API and Google Cloud Vertex AI access from one client

When to avoid

• you primarily use Python or another language ecosystem
• you need a provider-agnostic LLM client rather than Google-specific APIs
• you must run on Node.js versions older than 20 (22+ in v3.0.0)
