Navigate to https://ai.google.dev/aistudio, then log in using your Google account.
Agree to legal notice by Google.
Navigate to https://aistudio.google.com/app/u/1/apikey; choose Create API Key in a new project if you don't have a Google Cloud Project already, or select from an existing project if you do.
Click copy on the generated key. Important: Keep your API Key private. Please do not share it to avoid unauthorized use.
On the Add-Ons, go to Settings --> API Key Settings. Paste the value, then click Save.
In the API key you just generated, select "Set Up Billing" and follow the instructions until you finish. Important: You must upgrade to the Pay-as-You-Go tier since the Free tier has very low requests per minute (only 2-15 per minute).
