🧪 Example User Input

Generate a full business strategy for a startup offering eco-friendly home cleaning products in Vietnam.

Gemini Output Example (shortened):

{
  "executive_summary": "EcoHome aims to lead the eco-cleaning market in Vietnam...",
  "market_analysis": "Vietnam’s urban population of 40M shows rising eco-awareness...",
  "competitors": ["GreenJoy", "Ecolife", "Safewash"],
  "marketing_strategy": "Focus on TikTok influencers and convenience store partnerships...",
  "pricing_model": "Cost-plus pricing with 30% margin...",

}

---

🧩 3. Test & Refine

• Try with multiple inputs:
  “SaaS for restaurant management in Indonesia”
  “Pet care marketplace in the US”

• If output is too verbose, set max tokens = 1024.

• If it’s too generic, add:

  “Include local examples and real market references where possible.”

---

⚡ 4. Export the API Endpoint

Once you’re happy with the results:

1. Click “Get code” (top-right in AI Studio).

2. Choose REST API or Python snippet.
   Example (Python):

from google import genai
client = genai.Client(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

response = client.models.generate_content(
  model="gemini-1.5-pro",
  contents="Generate a business plan for an eco-cleaning startup in Vietnam."
)

print(response.text)

3. You can now plug this into:

   • Google Sheets (Apps Script) → auto-generate business plans

   • Firebase web app → user fills a form → calls the API → displays JSON as a formatted plan

   • Google Slides / Docs API → auto-generate business reports

---

📊 5. Add Optional Sheets Integration

If you want business owners to get structured plans inside Google Sheets:

Use Apps Script:

function generateBusinessPlan() {
  const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
  const idea = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange('A2').getValue();
  const url = 'https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-1.5-pro:generateContent?key=' + apiKey;

  const payload = {
    contents: [{ role: 'user', parts: [{ text: `Generate a business plan for ${idea}` }]}]
  };

  const response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, {
    method: 'post',
    contentType: 'application/json',
    payload: JSON.stringify(payload)
  });

  const result = JSON.parse(response.getContentText());
  SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange('B2').setValue(result.candidates[0].content.parts[0].text);
}

👉 Now, every time a user types a startup idea in A2, column B2 will fill with an AI-generated plan.
