A Google DeepMind interface for working with Gemini models and agents, representing a newer abstraction layer for interacting with Gemini-based systems.
Overview
Philipp Schmid of Google DeepMind describes the Gemini Interactions API as "our new interface for working with Gemini models and with agents," positioning it as a distinct and more recent API surface compared to prior Gemini access patterns. Schmid references it specifically in the context of building a new skill against it — using that skill development effort as a motivating example for why evals must be established before shipping any new capability. 12:33
Context of Use
The API surfaces in Schmid's talk Don't Ship Skills Without Evals as the target system for a worked example of evaluation-driven development. The implication is that the Gemini Interactions API is an active internal or external interface against which agent skills are built and tested, making it a practical substrate for demonstrating eval methodology rather than just a theoretical construct.
