Google retired generateContent for Interactions API — here's what breaks
google deepmind made the interactions api the default for gemini, replacing the legacy generatecontent interface with typed steps and managed agents. developers must migrate now to access new features like linux sandboxes and tool chaining.
google deepmind transitioned the interactions api from beta to general availability, establishing it as the standard interface for gemini models in google ai studio and documentation. the new system utilizes a schema of typed steps for user inputs and function calls, while offering flex and priority modes to optimize for cost or speed. developers now have access to managed agents with linux sandboxes, background execution for long tasks, and integrations with search and maps. while the legacy generatecontent api remains functional, google will exclusively ship new agent features through the interactions api.
