Hi Google AI team and community,
I’ve built a language learning app called LanguLive using Google AI Studio’s Build mode. It uses the Gemini 3.1 Flash Live API (native audio/dialog) and is deployed as an AI Studio Applet at ai.studio/apps/....
The architecture works as follows:
- Each user opens the applet through their own Google AI Studio account
- AI Studio automatically injects their own API key at runtime
- Therefore each user consumes their own free-tier quota — not mine
My monetization plan:
- I build a separate landing page (outside AI Studio) that explains the app and drives users to the AI Studio applet link
- I display ads on this landing page to generate revenue
- The AI Studio applet itself contains no ads
My questions:
-
Is it permitted under the Gemini API Terms of Service to publicly share an AI Studio Applet and direct general (consumer) users to it, given that the ToS states the services are intended for “professional or business purposes, not for consumer use”? In this model, each user is effectively acting as their own developer using their own quota.
-
Is earning advertising revenue from a landing page that links to a shared AI Studio Applet considered a violation of any terms?
-
Are there any specific requirements or disclosures I need to include to be compliant (e.g., informing users that a Google account is required, data usage under free-tier terms, etc.)?
I want to make sure I’m fully compliant before launching. Thanks in advance for any guidance!
