# Google (Gemini)
|
|
|
|
The Google plugin provides access to Gemini models through Google AI Studio, plus
|
|
image generation, media understanding (image/audio/video), and web search via
|
|
Gemini Grounding.
|
|
|
|
- Provider: `google`
|
|
- Auth: `GEMINI_API_KEY` or `GOOGLE_API_KEY`
|
|
- API: Google Gemini API
|
|
- Alternative provider: `google-gemini-cli` (OAuth)
|
|
|
|
## Quick start
|
|
|
|
1. Set the API key:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw onboard --auth-choice google-api-key
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Set a default model:
|
|
|
|
```json5
|
|
{
|
|
agents: {
|
|
defaults: {
|
|
model: { primary: "google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview" },
|
|
},
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Non-interactive example
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw onboard --non-interactive \
|
|
--mode local \
|
|
--auth-choice google-api-key \
|
|
--gemini-api-key "$GEMINI_API_KEY"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## OAuth (Gemini CLI)
|
|
|
|
An alternative provider `google-gemini-cli` uses PKCE OAuth instead of an API
|
|
key. This is an unofficial integration; some users report account
|
|
restrictions. Use at your own risk.
|
|
|
|
Environment variables:
|
|
|
|
- `OPENCLAW_GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID`
|
|
- `OPENCLAW_GEMINI_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET`
|
|
|
|
(Or the `GEMINI_CLI_*` variants.)
|
|
|
|

## Environment note
|
|
|
|
If the Gateway runs as a daemon (launchd/systemd), make sure `GEMINI_API_KEY`
|
|
is available to that process (for example, in `~/.openclaw/.env` or via
|
|
`env.shellEnv`).
