Free tier with high usage limitsInstall via npm and run 'gemini' to get a terminal AI coding agent with roughly 1,000 free model requests per day, no card shown.
Agentic plan-then-execute workflowBuilds a plan, asks permission before running shell commands or installing dependencies, then writes/edits code directly in your project files.
Multiple interaction modes in one terminal sessionToggle between natural-language chat mode, shell mode (prefix with '!') for raw terminal commands, and plan mode to preview steps before execution.
Built-in slash commands for project context/init analyzes the codebase and writes a tailored GEMINI.md context file; /model switches models; /memory manages saved context; /copy grabs the last output.
