## What it is
A collection of small starter apps from Google AI Studio demonstrating how to build interactive experiences with the Gemini API. Each applet (spatial understanding, video analysis, map exploration) is a standalone React or Lit app that can run locally with a Gemini API key.

## Use cases
- learn how to call the gemini api from a web app
- example of gemini function calling with google maps
- build an app that detects bounding boxes in images with gemini
- analyze videos with gemini using function calling
- starter code for building gemini-powered apps
- see how to prompt gemini for spatial reasoning

## When to choose
- you want runnable example code for the Gemini API
- you're learning function calling or spatial understanding with Gemini
- you want a starting point for a Gemini-powered web app

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready application rather than demos
- you use a different LLM provider than Google Gemini
- you need backend/server-side examples rather than browser apps
