This tutorial will show how to create a Gemini AI prompt that you can add to your Retool app. Have Retool ready and a Google AI Studio account, and let's get started.
You will need:
First we need an API key to communicate with the Weavy backend.
Before you can work with Weavy, you'll need to sign up for an account or sign into your existing account.
The bot needs a display name (what the end user sees) and a unique identifier required when rendering our messenger in bot mode.
The unique identifier (uid) is also used to update the bot through the Web API, etc.
curl WY_BACKEND_URL/api/users -H "Authorization: Bearer WY_API_*****************" --json "{ 'uid': 'BOT_UID', 'name': 'BOT_NAME', is_bot: true, 'metadata': {'family': 'gemini', 'api_key' : 'GEMINI_API_*****************'} }"WY_BACKEND_URL and WY_API_***************** with your Weavy backend URL and API key.You haven't selected an API key. If you do - code snippets, scripts and files you download will automatically be updated with API key and backend URL.
For our Weavy component to work, we need an access token from the authentication workflow.
Go to Code in the left panel, click the + and select Import Workflow
getWeavyTokenWeavyRetoolWorkflow from the Select Workflow dropdownRun behavior to AutomaticSave & RunYou need to import the workflow and install the Weavy components for this tutorial to work.

The Weavy Messengerwith bot mode enabled should load instantly - but toggle to Preview mode to see the full experience.
Note that this is fully working now and available for all your users if you want - AI prompting added, just like that.
