Google has launched a new open-source AI agent that brings Gemini’s coding, content generation, and research capabilities directly into developers’ terminals. Gemini CLI provides a “fundamental upgrade to your command line experience,” according to Google, making it easier for developers to write and debug code using natural language prompts. “While it excels at coding, we built Gemini CLI to do so much more. Google says the Gemini CLI agent is integrated with Gemini Code Assist, includes built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Google Search support, and allows developers to generate images and video using its Veo and Imagen AI tools. Gemini CLI is available for developers to preview starting today, and it’s currently free to use through a free Gemini Code Assist license that can be obtained via a personal Google account.
