Overview
What It Does
Gemini Live Api packages a focused communication workflow for an AI agent. Generates a Gemini LiveAPI client service class in the user's chosen programming language. Use when the user wants to build, scaffold, or integrate a client that connects to the Gemini Enterprise LiveAPI websocket endpoint, handles session setup/resumption, bearer token refresh, and sending/receiving `ClientMessage`/`ServerMessage` protos. Don't use for general (non-live, non-bidirectional) Gemini API usage such as one-shot `generateContent`, embeddings, image/video generation, or fine-tuning — use the `gemini-api` skill for those. It is best suited to users who can review the resulting actions and provide only the accounts, files, or command access needed for the task. It is not a substitute for human approval on destructive, financial, security-sensitive, or public-facing actions.
