Get started with the Interactions API
The Interactions API is now generally available and serves as a unified interface for interacting with various Gemini models and agents. It simplifies complex interactions—ranging from synchronous model calls to multi-step agent workflows in remote environments—by providing a single API endpoint. The API supports stateful operations by allowing users to pass the previous interaction ID, enabling iterative refinement of outputs (e.g., image editing) without re-uploading source data.
