Google has launched Gemini CLI (command line interface), a terminal-based version of its AI assistant. This new tool allows users to interact with Gemini through a command line, offering a generous free tier of up to 60 model requests per minute and 1,000 per day. The Gemini CLI is designed to cater to developers and other users who prefer a command-line interface for coding assistance, debugging, project management, and querying documentation. It supports various operating systems, including Mac, Linux (including ChromeOS), and Windows, with a native Windows version that doesn't require WSL.
Google’s Ryan Salva highlighted the "unmatched usage limits" of Gemini CLI, which includes a 1 million token context window and use of the Gemini 2.5 Pro LLM. The CLI also integrates with the gcloud CLI, suggesting Google's intent to encourage developers to deploy applications to Google Cloud. While there is a free tier, a paid option that uses an AI Studio or Vertex API key exists. It unlocks additional features such as policy and governance capabilities, choice of models, and the ability to run agents in parallel, while removing the requirement to use Gemini activity to improve Google’s products. The tool is open source on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license.
Verizon has integrated a Google Gemini-based chatbot into its My Verizon app to provide 24/7 customer service. The company claims to be seeing accuracy "north of 90 percent" with the bot, however this means up to 10% of responses are not accurate. David Gerard mentions an example of Personal Shopper, where random items are added to bills. Verizon's CEO, Sowmyanarayan Sampath, stated that AI is the answer to customer churn after a price increase in the first quarter of 2025.
