How to use it well

  1. Create an API key in AI Studio. Store it in an env file, never in git.
  2. Use the OpenAI-compatible endpoint when the tool expects one.
  3. Watch the free quota dashboard. Add Groq as failover when Gemini 429s.

Myanmar notes

Highest-leverage free credential for MM builders. Pair with a second provider.
