Analyze images/audio/video with Gemini API (better vision than Claude). Generate images (Imagen 4), videos (Veo 3). Use for vision analysis, transcription, OCR, design extraction, multimodal AI.
Process audio, images, videos, documents, and generate images/videos using Google Gemini's multimodal API.
export GEMINI_API_KEY="your-key" # Get from https://aistudio.google.com/apikey
pip install google-genai python-dotenv pillow
For high-volume usage or when hitting rate limits, configure multiple API keys:
# Primary key (required)
export GEMINI_API_KEY="key1"
# Additional keys for rotation (optional)
export GEMINI_API_KEY_2="key2"
export GEMINI_API_KEY_3="key3"
Or in your .env file:
GEMINI_API_KEY=key1
GEMINI_API_KEY_2=key2
GEMINI_API_KEY_3=key3
Features:
--verbose flagVerify setup: python scripts/check_setup.py
Analyze media: python scripts/gemini_batch_process.py --files <file> --task <analyze|transcribe|extract>
gemini command is available, then use echo "<prompt to analyze image>" | gemini -y -m <gemini.model> command (read model from .claude/.ak.json: gemini.model). If gemini command is not available, use python scripts/gemini_batch_process.py --files <file> --task analyze command.
Generate content: python scripts/gemini_batch_process.py --task <generate|generate-video> --prompt "description"Stdin support: You can pipe files directly via stdin (auto-detects PNG/JPG/PDF/WAV/MP3).
