- **Install:** `pip install pixeltable google-genai`
- **Environment variables it names:** `GEMINI_API_KEY`, `GOOGLE_API_KEY`
- **Pixeltable calls:** `pxt.create_table()`, `add_computed_column()`, `insert()`

## A look at the code

```python
from google.genai.types import GenerateContentConfigDict

# Create a table in Pixeltable and pick a model hosted on Google AI Studio with some parameters

t = pxt.create_table('gemini_demo/text', {'input': pxt.String})

config = GenerateContentConfigDict(
    max_output_tokens=500, temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95, top_k=40
)
t.add_computed_column(
    output=pxtf.gemini.generate_content(
        t.input, model='gemini-2.5-flash', config=config
    )
)
```
