Getting started with generative AI in your Google Apps Script projects just got a whole lot easier! Google AI Studio has introduced a handy new feature allowing you to directly export your AI interactions as ready-to-use Apps Script code. If you’re new to Apps Script or integrating AI, this is a fantastic way to quickly add powerful features to your automations. Here’s how you can grab the code:
- Click the Get code icon (</>) above the chat prompt.
- In the ‘Get code’ window, click the language dropdown (this might initially show ‘Python’).
- Select Apps Script from the dropdown list.
- Click the Copy button to copy the generated Apps Script code to your clipboard.
If you are using AI Studio with your enterprise data, make sure you’re using a billable account so that your data is protected. This addition is perfect for rapid prototyping and understanding the basic API interaction. However, for applications needing more features essential for production environments, including robust error handling like exponential back-off, then you might want to look at my open source GeminiApp library.
