Google’s Gemini 3.6 Flash and Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite models are now available through Netlify’s AI Gateway and Agent Runners with zero configuration required.

Use the Google GenAI SDK directly in your Netlify Functions without managing API keys or authentication. The AI Gateway handles everything automatically. Here’s an example using the Gemini 3.6 Flash model:

import { GoogleGenAI } from '@google/genai';

export default async () => {
  const ai = new GoogleGenAI({});

  const response = await ai.models.generateContent({
    model: 'gemini-3.6-flash',
    contents: 'How can AI improve my coding?',
  });

  return Response.json(response);
};

Gemini 3.6 Flash and Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite are available for all Function types and Agent Runners. You get automatic access to Netlify’s caching, rate limiting, and authentication infrastructure.
