Linked from firebase.google.com · checked 28 Oct
- Tool type
- Managed Firebase service for client-side Gemini API calls
- Made for
- Mobile and web app developers
- Runs on
- Android, Apple, Flutter, Unity and web apps
- Model calls are made from the app client; configuration is managed in the Firebase console.
What it does
Firebase AI Logic is a managed Firebase service that lets mobile and web apps call the Gemini API through client SDKs, without writing a separate backend in another language. Developers provide app inputs such as text, images, audio, and video, and the service returns model-generated output to the app. Prompts, model configuration, system instructions, and output schemas can be stored on Firebase servers and updated from the Firebase console without shipping a new app version.
People typically use it to add AI chat, personalization, image generation, and tool features like Grounding with Google Search or Google Maps to an app. Its distinguishing features are hybrid inference, which can run on-device models when available and fall back to cloud models, plus App Check protection for Gemini calls, per-call monitoring of latency and token usage, and support for the Live API for conversational audio and video.
It suits app developers building for Apple, Android, Flutter, Unity, or web who already use Firebase. Getting started requires enabling the Gemini API provider in the Firebase console, and usage is billed according to current Google Cloud or Gemini Developer API pricing. Limits include reliance on those external pricing schedules and on-device availability that varies by platform.
What it can do
- Calls Gemini models from Android, iOS, Flutter, Unity, and web client SDKs
- Hybrid inference that uses on-device models when available and falls back to cloud-hosted models
- Stores prompts, model configuration, system instructions, and output schemas on Firebase servers for updates without app releases
- Monitors each Gemini API call in the Firebase console, including latency and token usage with traces
- Supports the Gemini Live API for conversational audio and video experiences
- Integrates Grounding with Google Search and Google Maps tools
Works with
- Firebase App Check
- Cloud Storage for Firebase
- Firebase Security Rules
- Cloud Functions for Firebase
- Model Armor
- Firebase Remote Config
Example workflows
- In-app AI chat with managed prompts
- Input: user messages typed in a mobile or web app. Steps: store the system instruction and model configuration in Firebase, call Gemini through the client SDK, and monitor latency and token usage in the console. Output: chat replies shown in the app, with traces available for unexpected responses.
- Image-based feature with file uploads
- Input: a user-selected photo uploaded to Cloud Storage for Firebase with Security Rules limiting access. Steps: send the image and a prompt through the client SDK, optionally using Cloud Functions to enforce rate limits or block keywords. Output: generated text or image output returned to the app.
Before you choose
- Billing is handled through current Google Cloud or Gemini Developer API pricing, so model costs are separate from the free Firebase service.
- On-device inference depends on the device and platform; cloud fallback applies when no on-device model is available.
- Model Armor safety protections apply when accessing Gemini through the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.
