Common API Key Issues

This is usually because your API key has permissions for basic text models but not for the vision models required by Genimi.

Solution: Use our Model Tester to specifically check which models your key can access.

Genimi requires access to vision-capable models to analyze your images. There are different types of models with different capabilities:

Text-only models (like gemini-1.5-flash) can only process text, not images
Vision models (like gemini-pro-vision or gemini-1.5-pro) can understand both text and images

For Genimi to work properly, your API key must have permission to use at least one of the vision models.

Visit Google AI Studio
