Tutorial

DataPhantom uses Google’s Gemini API to power its AI features. You’ll need your own Gemini API key to use them. Follow these steps:

1. Open Google AI Studio — Go to aistudio.google.com/apikey and sign in with your Google account.
2. Create an API key — Click “Create API key” (or “Get API key”). Choose an existing Google Cloud project or create a new one, and the key will be generated.
3. Copy the key — Copy the API key and keep it private. You can return to the API keys page in Google AI Studio anytime to view or copy it again, create a new key, or delete a key you no longer use.
4. Add the key in DataPhantom — Open the DataPhantom extension. On the main screen, paste your key into the GEMINI API KEY field and click SAVE. It’s stored locally on your device and used only for AI features you trigger.

Gemini has a free tier with usage limits. For heavy use, check Google’s pricing. Keep your API key private; don’t share it or commit it to code.
