One Endpoint for Models and Agents: The Interactions API Goes GA

Google's Interactions API unifies text, multimodal input, tool use, and managed agents behind a single interface — now the recommended standard for new Gemini projects, with server-side state and background execution built in.

What's Built In

•Server-side state — history kept via previous_interaction_id, no full-history resend
•Background execution — long-running tasks beyond HTTP timeouts
•Step observability — each execution step exposed for debugging
•Implicit caching — higher cache hits in multi-turn use to cut cost
•Model/agent integration — call Deep Research with the same pattern

Developer praise

Greatly simplifies agentic apps. Server-side state streamlines multi-turn flows, managed agents share one calling pattern, and quickstart + SDK integration are driving productivity gains.

Open concerns

Migration from the legacy API is required. Batch API, video metadata, and Python auto function calling are not yet supported, and third-party integrations like the Vercel AI SDK may take time.
