Try Gemini in the Firebase console

After you set up Gemini in Firebase, you can start using it to enhance your Firebase developer experience.

To open the Gemini pane:

Click spark Gemini in Firebase, located at the top of the Firebase console.

The Gemini pane opens and persists across all pages in the Firebase console. You can now chat with Gemini and explore all of the features available in the Gemini pane.

If spark Gemini in Firebase doesn't appear in the Firebase console, follow the steps in Set up Gemini in Firebase for a project to enable it.

Chat with Gemini

After you've opened the Gemini pane, you can immediately start a conversation with Gemini and begin asking questions using natural language.

The following steps demonstrate a conversation you might have with Gemini about Cloud Firestore. In this example, you ask Gemini to provide you with a basic set of Firestore rules and refine them together as you add requirements:

In the Ask me anything about Firebase field, enter a question and then click send Send. For example, you might ask something like the following:
```
When should I use a Remote Config rollout vs. an A/B Test?
```
Gemini displays its response.
Next, you can ask Gemini clarifying questions to expand on the conversation or paste code in and ask for advice.

You can continue the conversation, and continue sharing information and questions about the app and projects you're working on as you troubleshoot and Gemini will suggest improvements and optimizations and additional guidance.
