 2.  **Start the Backend and Frontend:**
 
-    Start the backend:
+    **Backend:**
     ```bash
     make backend
     ```
+    
+    The backend will be ready when you see `INFO:     Application startup complete.` in the console.
+
+    <details>
+    <summary><b>Click here if you want to use AI Studio and API Key instead of Vertex AI:</b></summary>
 
-    In a different shell, start the frontend:
     ```bash
+    export VERTEXAI=false
+    export GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-google-api-key
+    ```
+
+    </details>
+    <br>
+    
+    **Frontend:**
+    ```bash
+    # In a different shell
     make ui
     ```
 
+    This is the suggested mode for development as it allows you to see changes in real-time.
+
 Once both the backend and frontend are running, click the play button in the frontend UI to establish a connection with the backend. You can now interact with the Multimodal Live Agent! You can try asking questions such as "Using the tool you have, define Governance in the context MLOPs" to allow the agent to use the [documentation](https://cloud.google.com/architecture/deploy-operate-generative-ai-applications) it was provided to.
