API keys & engines
Get a Google (Gemini) API key
The Google engine is not live in Monk yet. Here is the key it will need.
A Google AI Studio (Gemini) key lets an app call Google's image models, including Nano Banana Pro. Monk cannot generate ads with it yet, so you do not need this key today.
Do you need this today?
No. The Google engine is not live. If you save a Google key and select that engine, generation fails.
Use Higgsfield instead, it is the engine that runs today:
- Connect Higgsfield (recommended, one time login)
- Get your Higgsfield API key
- Which engine generates your ads?
How to get it (for when it lands)
- Go to aistudio.google.com/apikey.
- Click Create API key.
- Copy the key (it starts with
AIza). - Keep it somewhere safe until Monk supports the Google engine.
Is it safe?
Any key you paste into Monk is encrypted at rest, used only to generate your ads, and never shared or shown in full. That will hold for a Google key too once the engine ships.
