+1 GCP can be confusing - I totally get that.
Even if you have GCP projects, I'd still recommend the AI studio UI - easier to figure out. Also, you can easily see the free tier in AI studio and just use your API key from there.
Yes I will look into it now but there’s no cross reference from GCP, and why are there two ways? And why did the GCP way require all these APIs enabled while AI studio didn’t?

Because whatever internal team owns AI Studio fought for approvals to do so and GCP didn't?
Luckily, an AI solves this.
But ironically my experience is that Codex/Claude navigate GCP better than Gemini.
