Gemini Setup — Velocity AI

Open Google AI Studio

Go to aistudio.google.com and sign in with your Google account. No separate signup is needed.

✔ Free tier limits: Gemini 1.5 Flash allows 15 requests/minute and 1 million tokens/day at no cost. This is sufficient for normal use, but you may hit delays if you generate many plans back-to-back. Google pauses requests (never charges) when limits are reached.
