Hi everyone,
I recently built an education-focused coaching app using Google AI Studio / Build mode. The app is intended to support teachers by allowing them to enter classroom-related text, such as lesson notes, observation notes, or transcripts, and receive reflective coaching feedback.
I would like to share this app with teachers for free, at least during an initial pilot stage. I am not planning to charge teachers for using it. If the app turns out to be useful, I may later apply for a grant to support continued development, hosting, and API costs.
Before sharing it with users, I have a few questions:
-
How can I estimate token usage for each interaction, especially when users may enter long classroom-related text?
-
Is there a way to monitor token usage and cost after the app is deployed?
-
If teachers access the deployed app, will their usage count toward my Gemini API billing/project quota?
-
Is there a way to set usage limits, spending limits, or daily quotas so that the cost does not become unexpectedly high?
-
What is the recommended way to publish or share an app built with Google AI Studio for a small pilot group of teachers?
-
Are there recommended privacy or security practices for apps that may involve education-related user input?
I would appreciate any guidance or links to relevant documentation. Thank you!
