Gemini CLI is a free, open-source AI assistant for the terminal.
Google open-sourced terminal-based AI agent with a free tier of 1,000 requests/day and 1M token context + MCP compatibility!
A free, open-sourced AI agent developed by Google, for your terminal. With a free tier of 60 requests/minute, 1,000 requests/day via personal Google account (no payment needed), a 1M token context (meaning you can keep an entire codebase in your memory all the time, without breaking it down), built-in features like Google search, file manipulation, shell commands, and web request, and the ability to extend the agent with your own integrations through MCP (Model Context Protocol). Completely open-source under Apache 2.0.
Why a vibe-coder should care
Get a powerful terminal AI agent, for free (no subscription needed for daily usage!) with a 1M token context (never have to repeat context again when working on large codebases), and the ability to integrate your own tools/skills/servers via MCP.
How to install
Copy this and send it to your agent — Claude Code, Codex, any of them:
Install the agent from https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli using npx @google/gemini-cli, sign in with your Google account, start a session, and show me how the first run went. Ask me if you need any keys or permissions.
Runs on a regular laptop — only Node.js needed. You can try it without installing: one command in the terminal.
