Google Gemini Guide

Gemini support uses Google's OpenAI-compatible endpoint. This lets 3sparks Chat talk to Gemini with the same OpenAI-style message format used by many other providers.

Add the connection

  1. Open 3sparks Chat and go to Connections.
  2. Tap + and choose Google - OpenAI compatible API.
  3. Leave the name blank for a generated name, or enter your own.
  4. Confirm the base URL is generativelanguage.googleapis.com.
  5. Confirm the route prefix is /v1beta/openai/.
  6. Paste your Google API key into API Token. Tokens are stored in Keychain.
  7. Tap Create Connection.
  8. Tap Fetch Models, choose a default model, and tap Done.

Vision support

Gemini models that support image input can be used with camera captures, photos, and pasted images. If an image request fails, switch to a Gemini model with vision support and retry.

Troubleshooting

  • Confirm the Google API key has access to Gemini API models.
  • Keep /v1beta/openai/ as the route prefix for Google's compatible endpoint.
  • If no models appear, check API access in Google AI Studio and try Fetch Models again.
  • Provider model names change over time, so use the fetched list rather than old examples.
