Ask Gemini+
Gemini Chat Dialog for Directory Opus
Upgraded version of Ask Gemini (so different it warrants a post of it's own)
This does 'conversations' (chats).
In other words it uses previous requests and responses as context for the current request.
It is not multi-modal. Just a simple and useful Directory Opus AI chatbot dialog.
V2.1
22/06/2026-
Google introduced changes to API key policies 19/06/2026.
-
The old version of AskGemini+ is broken.
-
This new version introduces some changes to the interface.
-
This means old keys will not work anymore and a new key is required.
-
The process is even more convoluted than previously, and is not free anymore.
-
You will need to put, at least, a little money into it for the models to work.
-
The same API key can be used in VSCode Copilot Chat - uses credits more quickly than a simple text request-response app.
-
Use the link below to access the Google AI studio, from where you can get your key.
-
API Integration : Connects to the Google Generative Language API - requires an API key (configured in script settings or via environment variable (see below on how to get one)
-
Model Selection System* : Select a model from a list.
*fetches a maintained list of currently available Gemini models. -
Three response modes : Responses can be viewed as simple Markup or as Editable text or as Code view.*
*The edited text will be used as context for subsequent requests. -
Browser Buttons: A selection of browser buttons (A reduced set of those found in Search+)
Google Search AI (Gemini does not accept prompts through URL injection)

Please note:
AI-generated responses are not guaranteed to be correct, complete, or up to date. Use with human review. Responses are generated by a language model and reflect patterns in data, not guaranteed truth.
To get a Google Generative Language API key (often referred to as a Gemini API key), the fastest route is through Google AI Studio.
- Go to https://aistudio.google.com/
- Log in with your Google account.
- "API keys" in the sidebar.
4.When you have a key, copy the key. For security, do not share this publicly. - Paste the key into the script config called Google API key
- Alternately, create an environment variable called "GOOGLE_API_KEY" (type "env" into windows taskbar search and select "Edit environment variables for your account")

Many thanks to @errante for sharing TagMaster from where the idea for this script came from
