Use the interface your client expects

Use Google and Vertex models through TEKIZ.AI's OpenAI-compatible API, or use Gemini model discovery and generateContent where supported.

Tool calls stay structured

TEKIZ.AI translates OpenAI-style tools for Gemini and returns Gemini function calls as normal OpenAI-compatible tool_calls.

Keep working when an account is busy

If one Gemini key, Vertex project, or model is rate-limited, TEKIZ.AI Router can try another model you are allowed to use.

Set up Gemini router setup

export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.tekiz.ai/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk_tekiz_your_generated_key

curl "$OPENAI_BASE_URL/chat/completions" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "tekizai/agentic",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Route this through Gemini if it is the best healthy fit"}],
    "tools": [{
      "type": "function",
      "function": {
        "name": "lookup",
        "parameters": {"type": "object", "properties": {"query": {"type": "string"}}}
      }
    }]
  }'

Send files to services that accept them

Images, audio, video, and documents are sent only to models that can handle that kind of input.

Use more than one account key or project

TEKIZ.AI can share requests across the Google keys and projects you connect, then pause only the one that is unavailable.

Use accounts you are allowed to use

TEKIZ.AI does not grant Google access. Connect a key or project you are authorized to use, or use a hosted TEKIZ.AI plan.

Why put TEKIZ.AI in front of Gemini?

Your tools keep one address while TEKIZ.AI checks keys, keeps tool calls in the expected format, sends files to compatible models, and tries an available backup when Gemini cannot take the request.

Next steps

Create an API key, copy the hosted quickstart, browse Gemini-capable routes, or request managed Gemini review.

Stay within your approved services

If your company approves only Google AI, keep that boundary. TEKIZ.AI can reduce token burn while making better use of existing subscriptions and account billing.
