Enable Google Gemini in Jenkins Explain Error Plugin for Faster Build Error Analysis

Last week I released the Jenkins Explain Error Plugin, designed to help Jenkins users analyze and resolve build errors more quickly using built-in AI.

Some users requested support for the Google Gemini model because their organizations only use Google AI services.

Today I’m pleased to announce that the plugin now supports Google Gemini!

How to use Google Gemini

Before you start, make sure the plugin is updated to the latest version via the Jenkins Plugin Manager.

After updating, go to Manage Jenkins → Configure System and locate the Explain Error Plugin Configuration section. Set the model to Google Gemini and provide the corresponding API URL and key.

Click Test Configuration to verify that your Google Gemini API key, URL, and model are correctly entered and reachable.
