Google Gemini in Larvabot

The main brain: reads pages, scores leads and writes drafts.

What it is

Gemini is Google's family of AI models, available to developers through the Gemini API and Google AI Studio.

Free tier

Checked September 2026

What Larvabot uses it for

How Larvabot keeps it free

When Gemini's main model is busy (HTTP 503/429), Larvabot retries once with the lighter Flash-Lite model, then falls back to the next AI provider you've added, such as Groq. No paid fallback is ever used unless you add one yourself.
