Are you still copying code from a chat window and pasting it into your terminal? Are you constantly switching between five different screens just to fix one tiny bug?
You’re losing time. You’re losing context. You’re losing money.
What if I told you that Google just dropped a tool that runs an AI agent directly inside your terminal, never loses context, and can literally execute commands for you? A tool that can open Vim, suggest a fix, and then run the tests—all in one continuous, smooth workflow?
This is the Gemini CLI, and it’s a fundamental shift in how developers and entrepreneurs work with AI. It moves beyond suggestions and into action.

Interactive Terminal Support: The Core Power of Gemini CLI
The single feature that separates the Gemini CLI from every other AI tool out there is its interactive terminal support.
This isn’t just a simple chat wrapper for an API. When you start a session with the Gemini CLI agent, you are inside a full AI environment that runs any command you want. I mean any command.
You can tell the Gemini CLI to open a file. It opens right there in the same terminal session. You can open Vim inside the AI agent. You can run top to check your processes. You can even do an interactive Git rebase.
The power is that the AI sees everything you do.
Think of a real-world scenario:
- A test is failing in your project.
- You start a Gemini CLI session and tell it to find the bug.
- The Gemini CLI analyzes your code, explains the issue, and suggests a fix.
- You ask the Gemini CLI to open the file in Vim.
- You apply the fix yourself right there and save the file.
- You ask the Gemini CLI to run the tests again.
- Tests pass, all in one continuous, unbroken flow.
This is the difference between an assistant that gives you advice and an agent that actually helps you execute the work. The Gemini CLI saves you hours every day because it eliminates the five broken steps and replaces them with one smooth, conversational workflow.
If you want the full training and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) on how to integrate agents like the Gemini CLI for massive time savings in your business, you need to be in the AI Profit Boardroom. It’s where I teach you all the systems that took my agency from zero to seven figures.
The Massive Potential of the Gemini CLI Extension System
The second mind-blowing feature is the Gemini CLI‘s extensions system.
This is what turns the tool from a simple utility into a universal development platform. Google built this system to let you add new capabilities to the AI using simple, one-command installs.
These extensions are packages that include specific prompts, commands, and integrations. They essentially teach the Gemini CLI how to use the other tools and services you already rely on in your day-to-day workflow.
Here’s the key takeaway: Once you install an extension, you don’t have to learn a new API or a new set of commands. You just talk to the Gemini CLI like normal, and it automatically knows how to use that connected tool.
Because the Gemini CLI is open source, developers are already building extensions for everything you can think of: GitHub, Slack, AWS services, Docker, and more. This community-driven ecosystem means the Gemini CLI will rapidly become the control center for all your development and automation needs.
This integration power is how my agency, Goldie Agency, moves faster than companies twice our size. We use AI agents for everything we can, from content creation to lead generation.

Automating Code Triage and Prototyping with Gemini CLI
Where does the Gemini CLI really shine in terms of business impact? It’s in the areas that eat up your most valuable resource: your time.
- Code Triage: When something breaks—and it will—you spend hours digging through logs and codebases to figure out what went wrong. With the Gemini CLI, you just ask it. It instantly starts digging through your codebase for you, diagnosing the issue and suggesting fixes.
- Quick Prototyping: Instead of spending a day setting up boilerplate, you describe the project you want to build, and the Gemini CLI can scaffold the entire project while you watch. This drastically reduces the time from idea to working prototype.
- Terminal Automation: Any repetitive task you find yourself doing in the command line, you can teach the Gemini CLI to handle for you. This frees up your human talent for more complex and high-value work.
This is the power of AI agents that take action. The Gemini CLI represents the future: artificial intelligence that does real work instead of just talking about work.
If you are serious about gaining a massive competitive advantage and dominating your niche, you need to understand how to leverage these AI tools. That’s exactly what I teach inside the SEO Elite Circle.

Getting Started with the Free and Open Source Gemini CLI
The best part? This powerful tool is completely free and open source. This means you can start using it today, right now, without any upfront cost.
Here’s the simple, four-step process to get the Gemini CLI running:
- Open your terminal.
- Run the install command:
npm install -g @google/gemini-cli(This takes maybe 30 seconds). - Run the login command:
gemini login(It opens your browser, and you sign in with your Google account). - Start your first session:
gemini agent start
From there, you just start talking to the agent, asking questions, or telling it what you want to build. It will guide you through the rest. While the Gemini CLI is still new and in preview status, meaning features might change, the core functionality is already rock solid.
You should know that there are rate limits on the API, so if you are constantly hitting it all day long, you might run into usage quotas. Also, this tool works best if you’re already comfortable with the terminal. If you’ve never used the command line, there will be a learning curve. But the time savings are worth the initial effort.
Don’t just watch this video and forget about it. Go try the Gemini CLI. Reading about AI and using AI are two different things. When you use it, you’ll immediately see how much time it can save your specific business.

Q: How is the Gemini CLI different from other AI coding assistants? A: Most other tools are chat wrappers that give you suggestions. The Gemini CLI is a full AI agent that lives inside your terminal and can execute commands for you. It can open Vim, run tests, and manage files without breaking context.
Q: Can the Gemini CLI integrate with my existing tools? A: Yes, the Gemini CLI has a powerful extension system that allows developers to build integrations for basically any tool or API, including GitHub, Slack, AWS, and Docker. This is why it’s set to become a universal interface.
Q: How secure is the Gemini CLI for private projects? A: Google built the Gemini CLI with security in mind, utilizing Workload Identity Federation. This means you don’t need to store sensitive API keys or secret tokens in your repository, making it safe to use on private projects.
Q: Can the Gemini CLI help with tasks outside of coding? A: While it is heavily geared toward development and terminal tasks, the ability to run any command and connect to services via its extension system means you can teach the Gemini CLI to handle any repetitive command-line task you can think of, including automation related to DevOps and CI/CD pipelines.
