Google unveils Gemini CLI: A Free AI-powered developer tools
Google has introduced Gemini CLI, a free and open-source AI tool designed to bring Gemini AI's advanced capabilities directly into developer terminals. The agentic tool allows users to interact using natural language for tasks like code generation, debugging, and command execution.
"Gemini CLI offers lightweight access to our models, giving the most direct path from prompt to output," Google stated in a blog post. While optimized for coding, the tool also supports content creation, task management, and deep research.
Powered by Gemini 2.5 Pro, the CLI also integrates with Gemini Code Assist and supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Developers can extend its use with other models like Imagen and Veo for image and video generation.
Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Gemini CLI requires a free Gemini Code Assist license, offering 60 requests per minute and up to 1,000 daily. Advanced users can leverage Vertex AI or AI Studio for multi-agent workflows or custom models, with billing based on usage.
This launch marks another major step in Google's broader strategy to integrate generative AI tools across its ecosystem, empowering developers with flexible, local-first utilities.

Google Handoff could finally fix the Android experience across multiple devices
Android users have long enjoyed the freedom of choice when it comes to phones, tablets, and brands. But when it comes to how these devices work together, Android still feels disconnected. That could change soon, thanks to a new feature being tested by Google. Google Handoff could finally fix the Android experience(Freepik) A recent beta version of Google Play Services includes code hinting at a feature called Handoff. This new feature may allow users to continue apps, media, and notifications from one Android device to another. For example, watching a video on your tablet and picking it up from the same spot on your phone. Or swiping away a notification on your watch and seeing it disappear from your phone, too. This is not a new idea. Apple's Handoff and Continuity features already offer a smooth experience across iPhones, iPads, and Macs. Samsung also has a version for Galaxy devices that lets users switch calls, share files, and connect earbuds easily. Google now seems ready to bring a similar benefit to the wider Android community. What makes Google's approach interesting? What makes this move important is that it may not be limited to one brand or device line. Since Handoff is being tested within Google Play Services, it could be available to all Android devices that run these core services. This would be a major step toward creating a more connected and user-friendly Android ecosystem. There is no official word from Google yet. No release timeline has been confirmed either. But the presence of the feature in a beta version is a strong signal that work is in progress. If and when this feature launches, it will make the daily use of multiple Android devices a lot more convenient. Right now, Android users often need to repeat actions or manage the same notifications on every device. Handoff could simplify all that. This is especially helpful for people who use Android at home, at work, and on the go. It could improve everything from media playback to messaging, without needing third party apps or brand specific workarounds. A better connected Android experience is long overdue. With Handoff, Google has the chance to build something truly useful for millions of users who rely on more than one device each day.
