What it is
A terminal coding agent from Google that works with Gemini models, edits codebases from natural language, supports MCP servers and can run non-interactively in scripts.
Who it might suit
Organisations already holding Gemini Code Assist licences on Google Cloud who want an agent in the terminal.
What to check first
A notice at the top of its README says free and Google AI plan access moved to a different CLI, and that this one is not tuned for Gemini 4 and later. Weekly preview and daily nightly releases may contain regressions.
How it runs
Command-line tool installed through npm
