Can't access any Gemini features
If you're in Android Studio and don't have access to any Gemini features,
check the following:
Responses are low quality
If you find that Gemini's responses aren't as helpful as you'd expect, try the
following:
- Help Gemini better understand the context for your question and identify the
files that need to be updated by attaching files to your query.
- If you're using Gemini's standard chat feature, try agent mode. Agent
mode can tackle tasks that involve multiple files and goes beyond what chat
alone can do.
- If you're already using agent mode, expand the context window by
adding an API key.
- Consider upgrading to the business tier, which includes the Gemini 2.5
Pro model by default and lets you customize responses to better suit your team
needs. For more information, see Feature comparison.
Responses don't incorporate our team's style guide or policies
To help Gemini better understand your team's practices, such as a coding style
guide or third party library preferences, create rules
for Gemini to take into account when responding to your prompts.
