 # Google AI SDK for JavaScript
 
+The Google AI JavaScript SDK is the easiest way for JavaScript developers to build with the Gemini API. The Gemini API gives you access to Gemini [models](https://ai.google.dev/models/gemini) created by [Google DeepMind](https://deepmind.google/technologies/gemini/#introduction). Gemini models are built from the ground up to be multimodal, so you can reason seamlessly across text, images, and code.

-The Google AI JavaScript SDK enables developers to use Google's state-of-the-art generative AI models (like Gemini) to build AI-powered features and applications. This SDK supports use cases like:
-- Generate text from text-only input
-- Generate text from text-and-images input (multimodal)
-- Build multi-turn conversations (chat)
-- _(for Node.js)_ Embedding
+## Get started with the Gemini API
 
-You can use this JavaScript SDK for applications built with Node.js or for web apps.
+1. Go to [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/).
+2. Login with your Google account.
+3. [Create](https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey) an API key. Note that in Europe the free tier is not available.
+4. Try the [Node.js quickstart](https://ai.google.dev/tutorials/node_quickstart)
 
-For example, with just a few lines of code, you can access Gemini's multimodal capabilities to generate text from text-and-image input.
+## Usage example
 
-For Node.js:
-```js
-const model = genAI.getGenerativeModel({ model: "gemini-1.5-flash-latest" });
+See the [Node.js quickstart](https://ai.google.dev/tutorials/node_quickstart) for complete code.
 
-const prompt = "Does this look store-bought or homemade?";
-const image = {
-  inlineData: {
-    data: Buffer.from(fs.readFileSync("cookie.png")).toString("base64"),
-    mimeType: "image/png",
-  },
-};
+1. Install the SDK package
 
-const result = await model.generateContent([prompt, image]);
-console.log(result.response.text());
+```js
+npm install @google/generative-ai
 ```
 
-For web:
+2. Initialize the model
+
 ```js
+const { GoogleGenerativeAI } = require("@google/generative-ai");
+
+const genAI = new GoogleGenerativeAI(process.env.API_KEY);
+
 const model = genAI.getGenerativeModel({ model: "gemini-1.5-flash-latest" });
+```
+
+3. Run a prompt
 
+```js
 const prompt = "Does this look store-bought or homemade?";
 const image = {
   inlineData: {
-    data: base64EncodedImage /* see JavaScript quickstart for details */,
+    data: Buffer.from(fs.readFileSync("cookie.png")).toString("base64"),
     mimeType: "image/png",
   },
 };

-## Installation and usage
-
-- For Node.js (or web projects using NPM), run `npm install @google/generative-ai`.
-- For web, add `import  { GoogleGenerativeAI } from "https://esm.run/@google/generative-ai"`.
-
-For detailed instructions, you can find quickstarts for the Google AI JavaScript SDK in the Google documentation:
-
-
-- [Quickstart for Node.js](https://ai.google.dev/tutorials/node_quickstart)
-- [Quickstart for web apps](https://ai.google.dev/tutorials/web_quickstart)
-
-These quickstarts describe how to add your API key and the SDK to your app, initialize the model, and then call the API to access the model. It also describes some additional use cases and features, like streaming, counting tokens, and controlling responses. For Node.js, embedding is also available.
