How to Use AI Search in BuouNext

Gemini is Google’s cutting-edge generative language model.
In BuouNext, we integrate Gemini 2.0 Flash to power AI Search, offering users an intelligent, fast, and context-aware search experience similar to Perplexity.ai. This feature allows you to ask complex questions and receive synthesized answers from across the web with citation and real-time knowledge.

How to Apply for a Gemini API Key
