>> Hello developers and welcome to the very

first devumber. I am Stephanie Wong and

I am going to be your host throughout

this month. So if you are wondering what

DevSember is, you can think of it as

your technical advent calendar. And we

know that right now you're probably

wrapping up your Q4 projects and

starting to map out what you want to

build in 2026. So, for the next four

weeks, we are going to unwrap a specific

Google Cloud tool or theme every single

week, and we'll be bringing you live

demos, tutorials, and practical hands-on

skills that you need to hit the ground

running in the new year. So, to kick

things off, our theme for week number

one is making a list and checking it

twice. And we are dedicating this first

episode to Gemini CLI. So, we're going

to be showing you how to manage your

entire AI workflow from prompting to

deployment without ever leaving your

terminal. This is all about cutting out

the context switching and staying in

your flow state. Now, I can't do this

alone. So, I have brought in the experts

to chat with me. So, please welcome Amit

Mirage, Billy Jacobson, and Taylor

Mullen. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the

stream.

>> Hi. [laughter]

>> Why don't you all like uh introduce

yourselves? Let's go ahead and start

with AIT.

>> Yeah. Hey Stephanie and hey to all our

developers and builders watching. I'm

super excited for DevSember. I've been

working with Gemini CLI for like the

better part of half a year now. And I

can't tell you how much it saved my bum

and getting projects done. So I can't

wait to share some of that with you

today and I'm going to see if it can

help with my final task of the year,

procrastination.

>> I think everyone can relate here. Uh how

about you Billy?

Hey everybody, I'm Billy Jacobson. I'm a

developer advocate here at Google. My

focus is on data, databases, and AI. And

the Gemini CLI has been super helpful in

just helping me develop, be creative,

solve problems on my computer. I'm

actually going to show a little bit of

development and a little bit of just how

I have it helped me with tasks on my

computer and showing like the range of

what it is capable of.

>> Yes. And we're super excited. We have

Taylor here.

>> Hey everyone. So yeah, so I um I help

lead Gemini CLI across Google and uh

it's super fun. What a festive month for

us to do this. And so I figured let's

keep it a little festive as well. So

I'll be showing off some extensions,

some festive holiday themes and you know

some other pieces. Should be good.

>> I love all the holiday theme things

going on. And we already have a ton of

people uh joining into this live stream.

We have Jack Smith, we have Willie here.

We have US mans of NY. Hopefully I said

that right. Olivier. We have Tab Geeks.

We got [clears throat] a ton of people

here. So, thanks so much for joining

across all platforms. Uh we're going to

make this super fun today. We have a ton

of holiday things going on. First of

all, we have our uh amazing sweaters

here. I brought mine. Uh it's get lit,

which is I like to think it's one of the

mottos of my life. So, why not have it

be holiday themed? And fun surprise, it

lights up. Had to had to go for some

element of surprise, right? So, what

about you all? What are you all wearing

today?

>> Yeah, maybe I can get started. There's

nothing fancy with mine. It's a bit

nautical, but I was saying before stream

that if I'm going to take my advice from

anyone, it'll be from a sweater. So, I'm

so glad Stephanie is wearing one that I

can get on board with today because I

think not only for this stream, but for

the entire month, I'm hoping to get lit

as well.

>> I I I hope we all are. Uh how about you,

Taylor? I see you have some some

kittens, some cats.

>> All right, so here we So, I got a little

bit of some cat awesomeness going on. I

got, you know, we have two cats, so I

got a cat treat. Maybe we'll be lucky

enough to see one of them hop up there

during the stream. And so, I figured

there's no better way than to have like

what? Festivities plus cats. Come on.

>> I hope we get to see them, too. So,

please tell me you actually have Santa

hats for them.

>> Uh, so it's kind of hilarious. We do

have one outfit. One one cat loves to

wear their Santa hat. And um, maybe I'll

get some pictures. I'll find out.

[laughter]

I love it. Uh, how about you, Billy?

>> Well, I do love your shirt, Taylor, but

it is not a sweater, so we we are going

to need to fix that for next year, next

stream, and we'll get that exact same

shirt, but in a sweater format, which I

think I think we can make happen. Um,

I'm wearing this blue and red striped uh

sweater that a friend of mine actually

designed in Brooklyn, Henry Zangov.

Shout out to Henry. He just got engaged.

Um, and I just love wearing clothes that

my friends make and design. And I feel

like these are like very festive colors.

They don't always go together, and it's

like fun mixing and matching. And I'm

kind of like a an offbrand candy cane

today.

>> Hey, you you can pull it off. The colors

look great. And it also looks very cozy,

which is very fitting.

>> Super super cozy.

>> I love it.

>> We uh are you dropping hints for us to

uh make you a sweater for next year? Is

that what I'm hearing? Oh,

>> okay. Well, you don't have to do it.

We'll have Gemini do it. There we go.

>> But you can expense it for me.

[laughter]

>> Okay.

>> All right. Well, we're are we are

talking about Gemini CLI today. So, I

mean, Taylor, you are the creator of

Gemini CLI. So, what I think it'd be

perfect for you to kick it off and talk

a little bit about what the year has

been like. I mean, it's been like an

absolute rocket ship. So, what is it

what has it been like?

>> Oh my goodness. Yeah. So, okay, if I'm

recalling correctly, June 25th, we

launched the world. Uh, and it has been

up and to the right ever since then.

Like, absolutely such a cool journey to

be on. Um, the team has been deliver

like we deliver like I think 100 to 150

features and enhancements every single

week. Um, definitely follow some socials

if you haven't. Uh, we actually post

about them pretty loudly on a weekly

basis. And yeah, so it's been just a

constant ream of like energy from open

source and from us as well. Uh yeah,

it's been a really really really fun

year.

>> What are some of your top launches

related? Because you just said

everything's going out every week all

the time. So give us your top five.

>> Oh goodness. Okay. Uh let's see if I can

do this chronologically. Uh in some

there's there's so many five. Uh okay,

I'm going to cheat a little bit here. So

okay, number one I think I think is

probably GitHub actions. For those who

don't know, uh we released a way to

integrate Gemini CLI into your GitHub

action flow. So this can do any do

anything from custom code reviews to

triaging your issues. And uh for those

who don't know, we actually have a ton

of like love coming in from the

community on our open source repo. And

so that results in thousands of issues

and lots of pull requests. Um so we

really lean on AI in order to make it so

that is like really really successful.

um at least as successful as it can be.

Um next uh is custom slash commands. Uh

I feel like slash commands themselves.

If you don't know, you can create these

yourselves in Gemini CLI. Uh this is in

a commands folder under your Gemini

directory. And you can have custom

prompts, custom ways how to interact

like creating your own custom commit

messages. Uh we also integrated them

with MCP servers. So if you have like a

prompts endpoint on an MCP server, it'll

also get translated into a slash

command. Uh next, VS Code integration.

That was I feel like not everyone knows

that we actually have this VS Code

integration, but it's so powerful. We

find that so many people use it where if

you open up uh Gemini CLI in your IDE of

choice, it happens to be like a fork of

VS Code or VS Code itself. Um it'll

actually show you like a little install

dialogue to installer companion

extension. It gives it access to your

open files and a [clears throat] lot of

other information along the way uh to

make it more powerful. Uh okay, this is

the cheating one. Um, Gemini CLI

extensions is going to be like the

fourth one here. And now this is like a

big bucket of like everything. So this

is everything from having Google

Workspace support to having Nano Banana

and uh integrating like with your

favorite favorite database providers

like Postgress and everything in

between. So yeah, so CLI extensions just

in general is a big thing. Uh,

[clears throat] and then finally number

five, Gemini 3. How can we turn that

down, right? Gemini 3 is the big one

>> and I can't wait because we're going to

see some of that in action today. Also,

we're getting some love here on

LinkedIn. Darren says that he uses the

Gemini CLI GitHub action workflows all

the time and it's amazing. So, I think

we're some folks are agreeing with your

top five here. Uh I guess just to like

bring it back in case folks don't know

exactly what Gemini CLI is, how does

this really help automate your workflows

compared to let's say having a browser

open and being able to just use Gemini

in the browser?

>> [laughter]

>> Yeah, maybe um maybe I can start here.

And a lot of this probably will you'll

see through the demo that Billy and I

will be doing as well and Taylor. Um but

Gemini CLI can act as more than just a

coding assistant. Um you can have it

kind of browse through your files on

your through your operating system and

have it do things for you. We'll kind of

see a little bit of this uh through the

demos, but you can imagine things like

one of my favorite examples that I give

and I actually used was one on occasion

took a whole bunch of pictures and you

know when you take pictures with a

camera and name for those pictures come

back as like img blah blah blah uh which

is non-escriptive of what's inside the

image at all and I am notoriously bad

when it comes to organization. So, I

took all of my images, dropped it into a

folder on my computer, and then I asked

Gemini CLI to go inside each one of

those images and rename it based on

what's inside the images, and it did a

really good job of doing that. And then

on top of that, as well, you can even

create images now with some of the

extensions, which we'll see a sneak peek

of a little bit later.

>> Yeah. Amazing. Well, I mean, I I think

we should just kick it off and and see

some of it in action. All of us, you've

you've all built some really fun holiday

themed uh examples here. So, Billy, do

you want to dive into your first one?

>> Yeah, I would love to. This is actually

such a perfect transition from what we

were just talking about of, you know,

managing your set of files or doing

things with your files and applications.

Um, can everyone see my screen? Is that

all all good and set? Okay, perfect. So,

I'm just in this in my terminal, my

regular terminal right now, and I've

just got a ton of files in here. Um, so

I just want to show the the first thing

I'm gonna do with Gemini is just like

have it organize some of these files for

me. Uh, I'm gonna just open it up with

Gemini. I'm using the Flash model here

right now just because Gemini 3 is

incredible. So many people are using it

right now that I want to make sure

everything is um everything's going to

respond super quickly and I'm not

hitting the the super busy servers right

now. So, one of the first things I'm

going to say is just organi organize my

files for me.

I've just got all these files in here. I

want them maybe in some folders or

something. It's like, how do you want to

organize them? Let's just do it by file

type.

And this is exactly what Amit was

talking about. It's like, you know, just

let it run some of the stuff. And here's

the first um prompt I'm getting. It's

it's asking a few questions to get a

little bit more information. And now

it's asking, can it run a command for

me? So, this is a great way to know

like, can it do this thing? Is it safe?

Do I approve it? I'm gonna always allow

it to run the make directory command

because I know I'm going to need a bunch

of directories. Although it's it's so

much smarter than me because it's doing

it all in one go and like I don't I

didn't know you could do multiple make

directories in one go and I'll allow it

to move everything.

>> It is kind of nuts, right? Like it's

like being able to actually utilize

shell commands which are historically

just this arcane syntax that everyone

has had to figure out. Now LLMs are able

to kind of weave this all together.

Super cool.

>> Yeah. And I just I'm going to show quick

that it organized them. I just used

exclamation mark to enter the shell

mode. So you can don't have to even exit

the gem and I just run like a basic

shell command. I'm just going to ls. Now

I've got my data files, images, text

files, all that stuff. Super great and

clean to go. Now I know in one of these

files I did have my holiday shopping

list. So can you find my holiday

shopping list, please, and tell me

what's on it.

I'm also using um I'm using voice to

text which has been a really fun um fun

new discovery for me because it just

makes my life so much easier especially

doing a live demo. I can just say it out

and then it it goes right in there. And

I use a mix of a local model and Gemini

to help with that. So I have actually my

gifting list of just some things that I

know people in my life want or like but

I haven't decided on the gifts yet. So,

what I'm going to have Gemini do is come

up with the gift ideas for me, and then

I'm going to use the Nano Banana

extension to generate an image with all

of these gift ideas. Let's see. I did

write this prompt out already because I

wanted I wanted to do a bunch of

different things.

So, I'm going to load that up. I

actually have the Gemini extensions

page, so you can even see some of these

things. Or what is it? Not extensions.

What's the thing I'm looking up? Nano.

Banana. So, you go to the Gemini

extensions. There are 192 extensions.

Every time I look, there are more. You

just go here, grab Nano Banana, click

it, and install, and it's good to go.

>> What's Nano Banana?

>> This is a great question. [laughter]

Nano Banana is the latest AI model for

latest AI model from Google for creating

images and modifying images. It is so

fast, so cool how um how um just like

the depth of images can create. It

popped up on my image. I'm only sharing

my terminal, so I'm going to actually

quit out of this to show show the image.

It happened so quickly.

So, it recommended to get one of my

friends who likes cocktails of this

cocktail kit and my parents who love

coffee. Um, this little coffee

>> Buffy the vampire

>> coffee. [laughter]

Um, I've got I've got a sevenmonth-old

niece who's so cute, Lucy. So, I think

this will be a little playmat for her.

And then, of course, Evan, huge Buffy

the Vampire Slayer fan. So, I don't know

what this is.

>> Yeah, let's see what that recommended

all these things. So, there's a um a

vintage Buffy the Slayer Buffy the

Vampire Slayer poster. Okay, I think

that would be I think that's what that

is. It's a wrapped up poster. So, now I

know how it might even wrap it up.

[laughter]

>> I love the B baby gift really ties it

all in. Well,

>> yeah, definitely. So,

>> so these are just Yeah.

>> Like it took all of your ideas, expanded

on those ideas, and then created an

image from it in like a split second. Is

that what I'm seeing?

>> Yeah, it all happened so fast. Let's

scroll up a little bit just so you can

see because it

>> it actually went so much faster than I

was even expecting. Um, so they came up

with the gift ideas based on these

things. So I know my parents like

walking, coffee, so it was like, what

about a insulated travel mug and then

they can walk and walk and have their

coffee? That's like so smart. So, it's,

you know, I love getting to use AI in a

way that like amplifies your humanness

because I think it's easy to be like,

just come up with gifts for my parents.

And I'm like, oh, these are things I

know they like. Help me expand upon that

and come up with an idea and be more

creative there. Um, and then so it came

up with these ideas and then said, now

I'll create an image with these gift

ideas and it'll aim for a festive

flatlay style. And then it called this

nano banana MCP server and generated

this image for us. And I have to say

like the the the makeup like the actual

organization of how it put all these

things. You have the big baby toy in the

middle there. It really makes the whole

it it just feels like a great picture.

Yeah. Super super cool. So another

project I've been working on if I think

we can move on is I've been playing

around with just throwing together a

little holiday village builder game. Let

me run this here. Um,

so I was like, we can I want to be able

to throw some trees down. What are

these? Some some snow on the ground. I

don't know. I feel like I love just like

a calm It's not a game per se, but it's,

you know, just a just like a chill vibe.

Put on some music, make a little holiday

village kind of kind of thing. Um, and I

found all these nice uh like little

graphics to play with. So, this game

works great, but I thought it'd be

really fun if I could play it with, you

know, some friends. Create a holiday

village with other people. And I'm going

to use the Gemini CLI to amplify this

game to do that.

Let's go in Gemini.

I'm going to use Flash again just I

think that will be better. Um, here. And

we were talking about custom slash

commands. And one of the custom slash

commands I've got is the /f firebase

init command. So this is going to help

bring Firebase onto my project. And this

is going to give me two things. It'll

give me a way to host this application

easily. So I could share it out with

everyone on the stream and we could all

play together. And I'll get access to

fire store which is our document

database. It is has real time syncing.

It is just so developer friendly and

great to work with. And I'm going to

initialize Firebase in this app. And

then also just ask it to put fire store

syncing into this so we can play in real

time.

>> I think calling out

>> it's it's worth calling out too like

that firebase in it right you I'm

assuming you installed the firebase

extension and that's what's lighting

that up to make it so that it can use

this which kind of gives shows you kind

of the power that extensions kind of can

enable rather in your experiences.

>> So and I and I think you chose fire

store specifically because it has that

real-time sync right? So, like if I

wanted to put a tree on your snow, I

could do that from my computer at the

same time and it'll be reflective. Uh,

>> yeah, that's just such a fun easy way to

like demonstrate like how you're

connecting with people with the

database. You don't have to do add any

polling or like managing the state. It's

just super easy for that and it scales

really well. So, if you get a million

users, you can all be playing. I mean,

probably not on the same board. you

might have to have separate rooms or

something for that. But um definitely a

lot to do. So I'm going to go play

around with this a little bit, but I

want to show one more thing here. Is

when you're, you know, when I was having

it rearrange my files, it ask you for

permission for things. And that's really

good. But when you're deploying servers,

when you're setting up databases or

dealing with things with data, you might

want to like I could click allow all the

tools from the Firebase server and let

it go and run off and be free. But it's

nice if you want to say maybe run this

tool once or always allow that init

command. The Gemini CLI is really good

about asking for permission consent to

do certain actions. So it's not going to

go off the rails and just do whatever

delete your database unless you really

do give it free reign. So this is just

one way you can start thinking about how

you're going to use this CLI for maybe

more something in production is just

being really cautious about what you're

allowing it to do with each stage. So

you can control exactly how much leeway

you want to give it, but you also have

what is it called? YOLO mode. If you

just want to say, "Hey, go off." It's

allow every time. I love the name YOLO

mode. Uh Taylor, I feel like the whole

entirety of Gemini CLI has really quippy

fun language. Like even when you're

waiting, it has like really fun messages

that it's sending about like magic and

fireballs and like do did you come up

with these names? So, okay, Gemini was

the creator of these names and it was

it's it's been incredible, right? Like

we have so many jokes that kind of are

in some of these loading phrases and

yolo mode because you only live once,

right? Like if you're doing it like

you're you're really you're you're

living on the edge. Uh for a fun little

note for folks, we have a great tutorial

video on the help dialogue. Uh if you

ever want to check out more on YOLO mode

itself.

>> I love it. Why not have fun with it,

right?

>> Yeah, I'm going to keep working on this

a little bit. Also, I'm locking down

these API keys after this stream. I'm

deleting this project. So,

>> I I know I've leaked the keys,

everybody, but I will be deleting them.

So, don't worry. [laughter]

>> All right. Do you want to take these our

staff? Whoever uh wants to keep things

going.

>> Let's do it. Maybe we can answer a

question or two before I jump into mine.

What do you think?

>> Let's do it.

>> Let's do it.

>> We've got some good questions. All

right. So, let's see. We got some

questions from like Sarah here. When

setting up the environment on a fresh

Mac OS machine, is it better to install

the Gemini CLI using a package manager

like Homebrew or directly via npm?

I would say today the biggest thing to

do is always use npm today. Uh we

actually don't control the homebrew one.

Uh for which most people see, we're

working on that. So this is a again we

have a really avid community and they've

been they track our releases left and

right to kind of manage the homebrew

install. Um so definitely npm is what I

would recommend.

All right, good stuff. Okay, we have a

question from Shish Ma Rash Mala. Is it

okay to vibe code apps in a corporate

setting?

>> Uh, so I I guess I'll take too. Um,

[laughter]

I'd say I guess I'd actually love like

Brian, I'd love your take too after

this, but I'd say absolutely. We all

have to start from somewhere, right? All

ideas start from like a little like

grain. They kind of grow and blossom

into something more. And so I think vibe

coding is a really key part of that.

What do you all think?

>> I can talk about this a little bit too.

I think I think there's this balance of

like reliability and customization. So,

you know, if you're going to vibe code a

tool that can help your team work

faster. Maybe you're like a team of five

or 10 and you've got some a bit of

friction in in maybe the way you're

working or something. Yeah. Ask Javic

Live, code us a little app that can do

this thing or like like um I was working

on something to like transcribe a

podcast and I was like yeah make me a

little app that can transcribe this

podcast and if it works great if it

doesn't I'll tinker with a little bit

more I'll throw it out there's some

nature of disposable code with vibe

coding and I think for a disposable

project it can be really useful I think

when you're getting into something

you're going to maybe put into

production or be like sending out to the

broader organization or you know giving

to customers you want to have more

control over it So figuring out what is

that balance of letting the AI do some

work and then reviewing it and giving

like finding that right balance of not

letting it do everything um but still

maintaining control and allowing

yourself to work quickly.

>> Yeah, those are both great points and

then maybe I'll speak to it uh from like

a data residency perspective, right?

Because if you are coding for your

organization and you're putting

something into production, the code that

you write, if you are, you know, vibe

coding, you may be vi coding some new

code in a pre-existing production

commercial database or codebase rather.

Uh so if you are writing code and

sending it to a model that exists on the

cloud, there may be some data residency

and compliance challenges. But uh Google

offers a great variety of open models

that you can download on your local

computer and run locally to help you

code as well. So um from that

perspective obviously Billy and Taylor

have spoken really um and covered a lot

of the points with respect to writing

code using vibe coding for production

and for your personal projects or just

kind of uh prototype type projects. But

when it comes to data residency and

compliance just make sure that um your

organization you're following your

organization's standards.

>> I well one last thing I think there's a

way to vibe code and just kind of go

willy-nilly and just let it go off

right. There's also way to vibe code

responsibly. Um, which is you're

tracking it. You're realizing when

you're going from prototype to real,

right? And so for instance, Oh, go

ahead. No,

>> I was just gonna say that's a not

important point, but that's a good uh

sweater idea vibe code response.

[laughter]

>> I love that.

>> Yeah,

>> we'll get we'll get it for the next

episode. All right, one more question

before we move on. So, I think this is a

great question. Is Gemini CLI totally

free?

>> Uh, yeah. Uh, so the the here like you

can log in just with your Google

account, right? Just log in and boom,

you can access Gemini CLI fully for

free. Now granted, like you won't get as

much quota, like you won't be able to

use 25 Pro as much, but uh there's basic

there's so much flash usage, you're

going to get so much out of it. Like we

were just watching we were just watching

Billy like go ahead and um like pull it

all together with flash, right? Like you

can go really really far with that. Um,

but if you pay as well, you get more of

like 25 Pro or you get more of three uh

and everything in between.

>> Great. No reason not to get started. All

right, Amit, let's let's go on. Show us

what you've built with Gemini CLI.

>> Sounds good. Yeah, let's uh let's dive

right in. So, I'm going to just share my

screen really quickly here. Um, okay.

So, what you'll see on screen is my

project setup. So, I have a very bare

bones idea to help me hopefully solve

some of my procrastination this holiday

season when it comes to buying gifts.

So, I'm notoriously awful when it comes

to not only gift ideas, but also being

on time to get gifts. So, came up with

this idea. Maybe I can use Gemini CLI to

help me with it. So, I scribble down all

of my random ideas into this like

features file. And you'll notice here

that within the project that I'm working

in, I just have that one file on top of

uh some configuration settings in the

Gemini.md file. Um, and then myv uh

file. Um, unlike Billy, I'm hoping to

not expose that. But all that's in there

[laughter] is the API key that I'll use

to end up deploying this, which you

could also use as well if you do deploy

this. Um, but you can run this locally

if you'd like. Uh, similarly without

having to deploy it anywhere, which you

would then need an API key for. So, what

I'll firstly do in my terminal is run

Gemini um with Flash. We'll use the same

model that Billy was working with. And

then I've written down the prompt

already. So, I'll just grab that really

quickly. And all this prompt says is to

create a PRD, a product requirements

document. Um, and create a newp prd file

based on what it sees in the features.md

file that I've already created. And

remember, this is just kind of like my

messy thoughts being put into a

features.md file. You'll notice here,

one really nice thing is that the

features.md file uh is syntax

highlighted here. This is because you

can reference files within the prompt of

Gemini CLI and it'll know exactly how to

find that file. um and you can instruct

it on what to look at. So if you for

example myself, I know that it should

find all the information for crafting

this PRD inside of the features. MD, I

would point it to that. So anyways, I'll

run this really quickly. Um and you'll

see here that within a brief moment,

it'll create a PRD for me that I can

then use to actually run and create an

application. So the goal here is to

create a web application that I can use

to help me come up with gift ideas,

associate gift ideas with people in my

life. Um, and then also, you know,

continue ideidating, setting budgets and

things like that. So, uh, within a brief

moment, you'll see here it's actually

done. It came up with this really

comprehensive long, um, text file that

includes all of the pieces of

information that I need to create my

application, including some technical

details and a couple other things as

well. So, the next thing I'll do here

um, to continue this train is I'm going

to exit out of Gemini CLI and then

relaunch it with um, Gemini 3 Pro. The

reason I want to use Gemini 3 Pro here

is because um Gemini 3 Pro is really

good at coding. So I want to make sure

that I'm using the best model I have

available to make the application for me

because this next prompt within just two

brief prompts I can get to a point where

I can make make the app, right? So um

I'm going to tell it create the

application sorry creation for me based

on what's in the and then you can type

the at symbol and then the prd and it'll

autocomplete here. You'll see here if I

don't type anything uh it'll give me all

the all the files in the directory and

then I press enter. So what I'm going to

do here is um Gemini 3 pro is really

good at coding uh but obviously you know

it could take some time to build this

application. So, what I'll do now is

I'll toss it back over to Billy and

while this is building, uh, he can

continue his his demo.

>> Okay, cool. I also like I love the

features MD and the PRD MD. I think

those are really smart ways to make

Gemini CLI work even better. I actually

have in my like settings for the Gemini

CLI. I have a set of instructions that

I've put and you can configure this in

like the in your Gemini. Markdown file

there, you know, there instructions for

how to do this. I say every time you're

making something, write out a PRD or

like a product requirement stock of all

the features that you think are going to

be in there and keep this up to date as

we like have our conversation. I find it

really useful to if I want to rebuild

the whole thing. I'm like, okay, I don't

really like the approach it did or I

want to start over from scratch. I can

still take that PRD and just use it

again. And it's really helpful because

it makes you think, well, what are all

the features I need? What are

requirements? what are non-requirements

because sometimes these LLMs will create

they really make a lot of assumptions on

how they're they're going to solve a

problem and I think we are engineers and

have opinionated ways about how we'd

want to do it. So it's a balance of

letting it do things and um you know

being smart about what you're telling it

to do explicitly.

>> [clears throat]

>> I think like that was it was really

interesting there like we saw like flash

was used to build the PRD right and then

like that was almost instantaneous flash

is so fast uh and then like being able

to swap over to kind of implementation

mode uh and by the way plan mode is

coming the Gemini CLI that is something

that is like pro hopefully by the end of

the year we're going to have this but

the reason we haven't done it yet so far

is because you're able to curate your

workflows just like everyone here is

doing um and we've seen people build

extensions for actually adding plan mode

sorts of things uh which really cool.

People have gone really far with it.

>> Yeah. I think even as a reminder, it's

like the Gemini CLI, when did this come

out? Like a few months ago. It's like

everything, all of this stuff is still

so new. Like we are living in the future

with all these tools. MCP came out in

like April and now it's like a basic

term that everyone's using. I think it's

a good reminder of like there's so much

happening so fast and it's really cool

to like stay on top of it that also

there are so many different layers of

like what people are actually doing. Um

all right I've got my stuff deployed out

to uh fire firebase and got it synced

with fire store. I I did have to do a

little bit of you know prompting. What

did I have? I I said I got it working it

got it working locally with fire store

for me which was great. And then I asked

it to deploy. I said, "Fabulous. Can you

deploy it to Firebase?" It was I feel

like I'm always just being really nice

to my [laughter] LMS.

>> It deployed it and then um it did deploy

it, but it didn't like go to the right

URL. So, it's like, "Oh, can you

actually I literally just pasted in

here's the error. It says the hosting

setup is complete and you've set it up."

And I'm like, "That's not actually what

I want." And it debugged it and found

the the right directory and moved it all

around. I don't know too much about what

happened. I don't I don't really care.

And that's the nice thing about vibe

coding stuff like this. So where is

this? So this is this is my fire store

database. So this is the live data

that's in here. We can go to I have so

many versions of this open. We've got

the holiday village builder. So now I

can put some trees in here. But then if

I go handsree I think other people in

the chat are able to uh to put some

trees in or put whatever other tiles in

if they want. Um

should be working.

get planting please [laughter]

>> trying to find this uh trying to see the

URL.

>> Yeah, let me I'll show this link in the

chat to you all. Um I think I can also

just open it up in another window so I

can also show like the the sync. Okay.

Yeah. Now now someone's doing it

>> and so as this is all happening all of

this data is being updated in fire store

in real time. Um, so we can see, okay,

we've got these are the trees, the IDs,

the location, all this stuff. Um, and

like

>> I don't know, this was so quick to put

together. I built this entire front end

and app with the Gemini with Gemini 3

and the Gemini CLI. All these images I

found from like an open- source image

library of a bunch of sprites, which is

why they all have these weird names cuz

unlike OMT, I didn't get around to

renaming all my image files with nicer

names. Um I think if I click clear it'll

like

>> oh all my good work is gone.

>> I'm sorry you'll have to you have to

keep making more. Um

>> I was like

finding the right balance of what tools

are you going to use? How are you going

to combine them all? I was even playing

around with the AI studio which was

really fun and that makes some really

beautiful like AI apps. So it's all kind

of like trying different stuff out,

making it work and constantly iterating

and you know not forgetting your like

first engineering principles of come up

with the design or come up with the

plan, execute it, iterate, adapt, build

feature by feature. But even with this,

it's like we're able to all build a

little holiday village together. I love

like the moving feature. It added so

many features to this. Some of which I

asked for and some of which I didn't.

And I'm like this is great. I don't even

know what will happen if you click the

save to cloud button and I don't want to

know. [laughter]

>> Just like we think you need this.

>> Well, I want to bring in a couple of

comments actually from the live stream.

So, Angelo here says that he loves using

MD files as a local memory store. Very

helpful especially when trying to keep

track of thousands of files and facts as

data points to keep in context. So I

think it's a a fan favorite and I also

you know it really helps to make your

workflow much more efficient with the

help of AI. So good tips there.

>> Also I also noticed through the MD files

and what Billy and Taylor had mentioned

is that when you do the uh when you get

into this kind of zone of documenting

through MD files, it inherently creates

self-documentation for your project. So

you can kind of backtrack and see where

you went wrong or what you can change.

And you know, if someone asked you a

question about how this project was

made, you'd be like, "Here's a bunch of

MD files figured out yourselves." So,

>> yes. And then, uh, just in terms of like

how to prompt, u, Jennifer here says, "I

treat it as if I'm giving instructions

to any human and generally end up with

expected results. I haven't experienced

hallucinations because I am a detailed

explainer, but this is the case of my

ordinary life. I overexlain everything

even to AI." [laughter] So, Billy,

you're super nice to AI and she is

overexlainer, but everyone has their own

style.

One thing I'm trying to work on is

adding better memory as part of the AIS

that I'm working with. This I was just

at this conference like the AI native

DevCon. It was like in Brooklyn and

there are so many talks about context

engineering, memory management and I

think this is going to be my focus for

2026 is how do you integrate that memory

into your data into your databases

bringing it all in connecting with MCP

and figuring this all out. It's again,

all this stuff is so new and we're all

figuring out the best practices, best

ways to do it with all these different

tools and it's a really fun playground

that we get to be in right now as

developers.

>> Exactly.

>> And it's it's kind of interesting too,

right? It's like people use so many

different AI tools these days, but it's

how you how you use them really really

matters and every AI tool is a little

bit different. It's like if you hold a

hammer upside down, it's probably not

going to work so well. Honestly, the

same thing is true with AI tools, right?

So I think like even just showing how

like people here like building out a

plan first and then implementing that's

a big deal. It it makes a big

difference.

>> Yep. Simple step but super important.

All right. Do you want should we pass it

back to you? Do you have more to show

here?

>> Yeah, sure. Let's take a look at this

the the app that I've got going here so

far. So I'm going to switch over to my

other screen. Um one sec.

Okay, great. So, I've prepped it already

because um Billy was demoing, so he one

on our list. You'll see here this uh app

that it kind of came up with from

scratch. I think it did a pretty good

job in my opinion. Um but we can try out

some of the features. So, we'll add the

whole cast here. And

>> I will I definitely want gifts on it. I

did see you I saw you did an unboxing of

some Gemini 3 merch on LinkedIn

yesterday and

>> Yeah. Yeah. That would definitely be a

great gift for me. [clears throat]

>> We'll see if we'll [laughter] see if the

magic finder can find that one for you.

But um no promises. We'll we I think the

main goal here is to get Taylor's

sweater first and then we can move.

[laughter]

>> Okay. I I agree with those priorities.

>> Um so anyways, I select a friend here.

Steph, what do you um what do you want

this holiday season?

>> All right. I have been super into to

K-pop demon hunters recently, like

dressed up as Roomie for Halloween, so I

can't get enough. Let's go with that.

>> Okay, great. So, K-pop demon hunters.

Yeah, both of my nieces actually uh this

this Halloween season dressed up as

Roomie. Both of them. They're both

sisters and they both dressed up as

room. So, um yeah, I I can't even blame

them. It's a It was a good movie. So,

you can see here it actually goes out

onto Google, finds a bunch of different

helpful gift ideas for you, Steph. Uh

see if any of these sound interesting to

you. a K-pop light stick customized with

subtle demon warding signals. What do

you think about that?

>> I mean, yeah. Why? We got to fight off

the demons, right? Like, this is the

whole point. They're all around us.

>> Whatever. Let's just add them all in.

Billy will buy it for us. No problem.

Yeah, we can just X out of here really

quickly and we'll see. It goes ahead and

adds everything for you already. It's

pretty cool. Um, you can create new

ideas here as well, but there's a couple

things that obviously are not working.

For example, it doesn't pull in the

price, right? That would be pretty nice.

I think if we like open the magic

finder, it only pulls in the suggested

ideas, which I think is fine. Like, you

know, that's all I put in my features to

begin with anyways. I didn't ask it for

price and description. So, um, you know,

it's kind of doing what it needs to as

the first step. And then I can go back

into Gemini CLI and be like, "Okay,

listen. You know, let's uh add this one

feature where you pull in the price and

the description and maybe a link to the

actual product as well, so I can go out

and purchase it." Billy, what are you

what are you into?

>> Um, I really love good coffee. Yeah.

>> Okay.

>> Oh, you know what? I need a new hat. I

feel like I just I need a a refresh of a

hat.

>> New hat.

>> I definitely don't need more sweaters.

In fact, I brought three sweater options

for this today and I need to donate some

on camera because I I just can't have

the I can't leak all my [laughter] all

my secret sauce.

>> Only API keys, I guess. Huh?

>> Yeah, I'll leave the API key, but not my

sweater collection.

>> Never the sweater, though. ever.

>> Yeah. Yeah. The important stuff. Okay,

cool. These seem pretty sweet, actually.

So, well, yeah, I came up with like a

three-month subscription to Roers's

Choice, which I think probably I'll add

for you. Um, it's interesting. It added

more coffee stuff than Hat Stuff, but it

does have this uh beanie, so maybe we'll

add that in too.

>> Is it a coffee beanie or just a regular

beanie?

>> That is uh that's a good pun. I I didn't

actually like Yeah, until you said that.

I like that. I'm a I'm a sucker for a

good pun. And then Taylor, what about

you? I don't want you to feel left out,

so we'll add more.

>> So, we all know that I need sweaters,

right? Like this is I think [laughter]

this is a requirement here.

>> It has to be a cat swe a cat sweater,

obviously, is the requirement here.

>> And it's got to be tailor made.

[laughter]

>> There we go. Let's make it funny.

>> Okay. Cat sweater.

>> I'm feeling lit with these puns.

>> Okay.

>> Right.

>> Yeah. Yeah. I'm um

>> we should bake these into the loading

phrases for Gemini CLI.

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah. Honestly, I'm just going to alter

the Gemini.nd prompt to make sure these

puns. Anyways, you can see here. Yeah,

it comes up with like Whoa, cartoonish

portrait of Taylor specific hat. I feel

like you'd want that. [laughter]

>> Yeah, that makes sense.

>> Ultimate cat comfort. Let's go. Okay.

Yeah, it does.

>> Great. So, now we've uh we've got all of

this in here and yeah, pretty sweet. I

think like it did a pretty good job of

like giving me and then I can also add a

new idea. Let's say um K-pop Demon

Hunter DVD. Yeah. How much are DVDs

nowadays? Like 20 bucks.

>> They're they're probably like vintage

items. So yeah. [laughter]

>> Yeah. Gone the way of the floppy disc, I

guess. But um wonderful. Yeah. So it

seemed like it worked from uh like from

just a couple simple prompts. So uh I'm

going to stop that here. Maybe I'll add

while Taylor uh while I pass it over to

Taylor or we take a couple more

questions. I'll add a few more features

to see how it does.

>> All right, let's Do you want to answer a

few questions and then we'll pass it

over to you, Taylor?

>> Let's do that.

>> All right, let's do Okay, we have one

question which I think is is great. How

does Vibe coding fit into the software

development life cycle?

>> I think this is kind of related to what

we talked about, but like Yeah. How does

it work for your workflows?

>> Yeah.

>> And I I'll speak to Gemini CLI at the

very least. Um, I can't remember the

last time like I personally wrote tests

if that makes sense. Um, so I will

advise and I will make sure things are

tested in the right way and I'll make

sure that the right structure is in

place. Um, but I'll like oh my goodness

like being able to test everything like

like crazy amounts of code coverage. How

do you go wrong with that? Being able to

actually have like CI checks that make

sure things semantically make sense.

Holy cow. and unlock code reviewing like

if anyone who's actually contributed to

Gemini CLI we have an automated code

review flow uh that goes through it

helps you kind of get your PR into the

best possible state um oh my honestly

I'd say it fits into every piece of it

and this doesn't mean it fully replaces

it it means it makes it quicker like for

the code reviewing one as an example we

make it so that by the time that we have

we get around to looking at the like the

PR it's in a really good state for us to

kind of like merge merge things in

faster and more efficiently. So those

are some of them for me.

>> Related to that, I immi

support reusable workflows.

>> Oh, Billy, I think you're you're muted.

>> Yeah,

>> I'm muted. I feel like the extensions

are a really good way for reusable

workflows and I think building your own.

So, an extension I I was like I kept

hearing about these extensions and I was

like what is this? This seems so new and

interesting. It's like I feel like I

just learned a new tool. I don't want to

have to learn another one. And then I

realized that the extensions are just

three of the existing things packaged

together. So, an extension is an MCP

server. It is a set of kind of custom

instructions and then it can also be a

set of slash commands. And I feel like

you could and it doesn't have to be all

three of them. could be mix and match

and I feel like setting yourself up with

an extension for your workflow is

probably a really good way to do it and

you can share it out with your team. So

maybe set a custom slash command that

everyone on your team is going to use

and then you could put it on GitHub,

share it out as an extension and then

everyone on your team has access to it

and it can refresh and reload. I feel

like that was that's one of the places I

see a lot of possibility there for

reusability in a workflow. Yeah,

>> that's a big deal too by the way. Like

internal to Google for those who don't

know like there's so many extensions

created for all of the teams here who

work like people will build teamsp

specific extensions. We even have team

specific extensions like for running our

benchmarks, right? Like we have specific

things that will analyze results and do

a lot of stuff for us on our behalf. We

have extensions that will make it so

it's easier to code review things. So

many piece I love that responsibility.

>> Yeah. And then along along those lines

too, I think I alluded to this a little

bit during my workflow, but the

gemini.md file is a configurable kind of

project level setting or like userwide

setting um markdown file that you can

use to inform it of certain things. So

if you have best practices that you like

to adopt for while you're writing code,

for example, make sure that all of your

frontends are purple, this color scheme

is purple, then you would include that

in your gemini.md file. And then every

time you write code, it'll make sure it

references all of those rules before it

actually goes out and does something.

>> Nice. We got we got some love from the

comments here, too. Boxy ML says,

"Gemini in the command line is amazing

for iteration. Lots lots of Oops, I made

an error. Gemini, where did I forget the

comma? [laughter]

I think all of us can attest to that.

All right, Taylor, you got some cool

stuff to show. So, let's pass it over to

you."

>> Cool. Uh, all right. So, um, what should

I show? So, okay. First off, uh there

was this latest thing made by Jack

Weatherspoon. He is one of like uh our

superstars on the Gemini CLI Devril team

and um he went ahead and created this

nice little holiday theme bundle and

what better time to share something like

this than with all you. Um now this is

going to I think it's actually landing

in today's build if I recall correctly

and so you'll be able to do slash theme

and pick holiday. But until then, we've

talked a lot about how Gemini CLI is

fully customizable, right? So, I kind of

wanted to show like it's a starting

point. You can actually um create your

own themes. So, I've actually done this.

Uh this folder is actually fully empty.

Uh I have like this Gemini folder and

that's about it. And in here, there's a

settings.json file. The settings.json

file, I just have a UI. Uh it has a

theme called holiday and I describe it.

which means if I were to to run my

Gemini right now, you're going to see my

amazing festive theme. Uh, which is kind

of cool, right? Like it's pretty GL.

Honestly, there's even one of these

things here like if I if I like if I

quit, it even applies to the the exit

screen, which I absolutely love.

Actually, let's go back into there. Um,

but as a starting point, um, this is

going to be enabled for everyone here.

So, if you do slash theme, which I don't

know if folks know about this, you can

actually pick your theme, um, to pick

the thing that works right for you. And

so, uh, there will be a holiday one in

here, I think, in today's build. And if

it's not today's, it's next week's

build, but it's, you know, it's the

month. It's it's great. So, okay. So,

next piece, uh, is now that we have a

theme that we can actually show stuff

off on, I wanted to show a little bit

about extensions. We talked about a lot

about this today and I want to kind of

be super clear that anyone can create an

extension like anyone can and all it

requires is for you to have some like

something that's on GitHub. So this is a

person John Capabiano

does some really really cool Gemini CLI

work and other things um on socials has

made this vision extension and this

extension is it's just a repo on GitHub.

The fact that makes an extension is the

fact that has this Gemini extension.json

JSON file in the in the repo itself. And

this gives Gemini CLI access to uh to

Nanobanana. Again, like this is a

different Nanobanana extension, mind

you, to VO. Um there's actually some

sign language stuff here as well for

interpretation, which is really really

cool. And of course, it the one of the

really cool things is also enables it to

actually access your webcam. So I

figured what like we had talked a lot

about how I don't have a sweater and

maybe my background is not very festive.

So let's see if we can fix that, right?

So, okay, let's like start here and

we're going to say uh take a picture of

me and we're going to start here. Oh,

actually I'm not using Gemini 3 for this

is a way Oh, no. Good. Actually figured

out to use Flash. That's fantastic. Um

>> get you into voice to text. That way

when you're when you're demoing, you can

just

>> I I you know, I like this. I think I

should do that.

>> I'll set you up with it after.

>> I you know, I have I have the thing

locally on my like my Mac where I can

actually enable it. It's okay. Ask I

really like Google Cloud speech attacks

though. I think I did a demo on that

before as well.

Okay.

>> Some really local models. I'll show you.

All right.

>> Oh, no. I I I I love that like honestly

speaking is so much more it's so much

easier. And this is the one thing I

actually love with LLMs is it doesn't

matter if you have certain filler words.

It doesn't matter if you go off the

beaten path. They're really good at kind

of deriving the context that matters for

you and doing the right thing. Um, so,

okay. So, I think it looks like my I see

my little my camera lights on. It looks

like it's going to try and capture. I'm

going to do a good smile.

Um, camera not open. Okay. So, it's the

camera's not open for this. I see it

specific to the terminal. Okay. It's

going to start the camera. There we go.

Camera is now opened. Now, it's going to

try it again. Let's smile again.

And this is one of the cool things,

right? Like, it's able to actually

course correct it. It saw that I had a

camera open because of course we're

streaming. You see me here. Um, but it

wasn't available to my terminal and so

it went ahead and it fixed that. So,

let's actually look through here. Let's

see this nice little thing that it

opened up. So, I'll do this and

[laughter] that's pretty glorious. Uh, I

love it. Not so bad. We're going to find

out. Oh my gosh.

>> Hey, you're so photogenic, Taylor. What

the heck?

>> You know, this is [laughter] my new

profile picture, right?

>> Yeah. And you got both the cats in the

frame. Great framing. I that that was

itself an accomplishment. Let's be

serious. Uh okay. So now we have a

picture of me. Um let's go ahead and

like let's make my background festive.

Um let's go ahead and do this piece. And

so they just here is like I have a nice

little cat. Oh. So now it's using Gemini

3 Pro Preview. Let's actually see if

it's able to do this. Um just because

given how slow things have been, we see

some like people have loved Gemini 3 so

much. It's been so humbling where we are

struggling to keep up with the demand.

uh with with all this. So, it might take

a little bit here. If so, I'll swap over

to Flash and I'll do the same thing uh

for this, but it's been so humbling just

seeing all the energy coming into uh to

Gemini CLI and every other product at

Google that's doing this. And look, it's

Rick Rolling, my boss. Yes, that's true.

Okay, so it's going to take a little

bit. I'm actually going to swap over to

Flash for this uh for the specific

thing. So, let's do model.

>> This is a great way to show how to swap

over to the different models.

>> Thank you. So yeah,

>> you're just setting yourself up for a

great a great demo [laughter]

>> pro as well for this. Uh and so that

just as simple as that I'm now using

flash. Kind of cool, right? So okay,

it's going to use nano banana as part of

this vision extension that John Capiano

made. And it's going to create something

for me. And ideally, it's hopefully we

have like a festive background here. So

let's do open. That is not how I spell

open. Open this. [clears throat]

>> That's pretty cool. I got it right.

Like,

>> wow,

>> that looks great.

>> Um, yeah. So, okay. I didn't get the

sweater. I could have asked you a

sweater, but I want to make sure I have

enough time for everything else. What

are we doing on time? Okay. Uh, hold on.

Let's Let's try to give me a sweater.

Uh, give me give me a festive sweater,

too, instead of a t-shirt.

We're going to see if it's able to kind

of go ahead and take this one bit. We're

not iterating right on this picture and

let's see if we're able to do it.

>> I don't I don't even like this. I

wouldn't know what to get you anymore if

you had a sweater. Yeah,

>> this is like a mission.

>> Find out

>> to get Taylor a sweater.

>> Yeah, you see this is the thing. And now

I just got to ship this. I GOT A

SWEATER.

>> OH, that's great. It's missing the cats,

but that'll be for next. See, Omit, you

can still get the cats one. still still

plenty of opportunity.

>> Yeah, I I think these are all options

here. Uh I guess it would have been

hilarious if this like the the reindeer

were actual cats. That would have be

that would be like a nice little level

up here. So, okay. So, first off, I want

to recap here. Anyone can write their

own extension. Um this is just an

extension that's on GitHub. It will be

added here. So, for instance, if I

search vision like you also can be can

also have things here, right? Anyone can

write one. Uh, it's fully open to anyone

and everyone. Um, so, okay, the next

piece I wanted to show here is I

actually just did this little like this

little social post here where I found

that I kept trying to have Gemini Cal

and all of my AIS of choice write like

me. So, this is everything from creating

a report to writing social posts to

everything in between. Um, I would

constantly ask, hey, can you keep my

tone, my style? Can you write like I

write? Um, and so I try to say, could

Gemini CLI help fix this for me? And so

another extension is the workspace

extension. It's the Google Workspace

extension, a workspace right here. And

for this, um, I went ahead and I

actually asked it thoroughly analyze my

sent emails, chat, everything in between

and create a system instruction for me.

Uh, which I thought was actually pretty

cool. And it did a really, really good

job. I can't actually do this fully on

stream, but I'll I'll start the prompt.

Should I start? I'm not going to just I

don't want to actually leak anything

that I shouldn't leak. [laughter]

So, I won't do this on stream, but

instead, let me actually pull over here.

Um, my Gemini MD. We talked a lot about

Gemini MD files. And one of the things

that you can actually have is you can

have a Gemini MD file that sits at your

user profile level. And this is mine.

Um, and so it has a whole bunch of

things here which I personally like to

include, which is here's how I write

commit messages. Here are some other

details of how things are installed. But

specifically for this one, I have this

when asked to keep your tone like when I

whenever I ask to keep your toner style,

I actually have it curl this GitHub gist

and I have it pull it in. And so I'm

going to show this uh I here we go.

Let's go ahead and uh this one. Okay.

And so for for here we now have a system

instructions for Taylor Mullen, right?

Kind of crazy. Um, so for this it has a

core persona. It gives little details

about my v vocabulary and my phrasing.

Uh, sentence structure, formatting and

visuals, some scenarios, tailorisms. Uh,

I love this one.

>> Wow, these tailorisms are pretty funny.

[laughter]

Yeah, if I I actually use this a lot.

This is very very illegitimate. Um

saying hm,

but you need like six M's. [laughter]

>> Yeah, it's it's very true. I I love

adding uh the same ship. Love it.

>> Yeah. And ship it. Exactly. Uh so

>> this is such a cool cool setup.

>> Thank you. Yeah. I love this. Honestly,

it's so cool.

>> Yeah. One thing that I that I saw people

talking about about the context engineer

actually was kind of keeping like rules

and knowledge separate. So you're really

demonstrating this of your instru your

Gemini instructions has here's like the

baseline of how to communicate about

stuff but when you need to send a

message here the here's the instructions

or like the deeper knowledge and it

doesn't always need to go and get that.

it can go and get that when it needs to

and like you're managing the appropriate

amount of information for uh for each

prompt which is really smart.

>> Yeah. Yeah. And that because that's the

thing it's like when you I always the

feedback I always love to give about

prompting is less is always more right.

Um and this is a good example of that is

I when I want it to speak like me that's

when I wanted to have this information

when I don't doesn't need to have all

this information right so having that

kind of GitHub link and to be frank

there was a person on the team who

recommended this approach prior to this

I just had in my Gemini MD file so Gaul

uh on the team said hey why don't you

just have that in a GitHub just like

that's such a smart idea and so I think

I I just recently changed this as well

>> so now Ahmed and I are just going to

start talking like you in all of our

emails I think that'll

Hey, like anytime I message Taylor, he

responds instantly. I'm like, "Wait a

minute."

>> Yeah.

>> You know, the workspace extension does

let you does let you send chat messages.

Uh, funny enough, and we have explored

doing that. Uh, so it's not that far out

of the possible.

>> Am I actually talking to Taylor?

[laughter]

>> We'll find out. VO, this is all of VO

going on right now.

>> I [clears throat] love it. This is super

cool. I feel like you just all showed us

some major hacks. Uh but I think one of

the top ones that we've seen today is

the fact that you can create your own

custom extension. So I think if anyone

wants to create an extension, what's the

best way for people to get started and

should they I mean you can share it with

others uh internal to your teams or even

externally. So what do you recommend for

folks wanting to get started there?

>> So we have a great getting started page

and we have geminici.com/doccks

is the kind of like it's the entry point

for everything Gemini CLI. So this is

everything from writing an extension to

actually using the product to everything

in between. I mentioned we have like a

100 to 150 features, enhancements, etc.

every single week. It's really hard to

keep up with it, but it's super

powerful. Um, super customizable and you

can tailor it for every single one of

your workflows. So for those who want to

get started with it, definitely check

out geminici.com and our docs page and

start creating those Git repos. Start

going ahead and sharing those

extensions. And by the way, you can also

have them as local folders if you just

want to experiment with yourself because

you have to go ahead and have some sort

of developer friendly approach to

creating these.

>> But yeah, that's probably the best way

to get started.

>> All right, one question from the

audience before we wrap up. David Deved

asks, "What advantages does the native

CLI provide compared to anti-gravity?

And is there an efficient way for both

tools to work together seamlessly to

improve production workflows in Vibe

Code programming?"

Yeah, I think this is a great question,

especially with the loom of anti-gravity

over the past few weeks. So,

anti-gravity for those who don't know is

a full IDE that uh has been released by

Google. It's free to download and start

using. So, you can supercharge your

development workflow using anti-gravity

as an IDE and it has Gemini 3 Pro baked

in. So, probably wondering, a lot of our

workflows that we showed you, including

mine, shows using VS Code with Gemini

CLI. So, how is that different or how

can it be used in tandem with

anti-gravity? Well, Gemini CLI is really

good for anything that includes code and

also not code. You saw that with Taylor

and Billy's demo where they were both

able to do things that weren't code

specific. For example, Taylor, you know,

created or modified an image of himself

and Billy renamed and organized a lot of

his directories. So, um, Gemini CLI is

really, really good at being able to

dive into your operating system, all of

your files, and be able to do things

with respect to the context that it

finds within your kind of operating

system and file structure. So, combining

those two worlds, anti-gravity from a

coding perspective, and then Gemini CLI,

which can also code too, but to use for

maybe as a personal assistant, if you

will, uh, can be a nice little unlock

and hack.

>> Awesome stuff. Well, that's a perfect

segue because next week we are live

streaming all about Gemini 3 and

anti-gravity. So, you definitely don't

want to miss that. We're going to have

some awesome demos from the engineers

who have built them directly. So, thank

you so much to all three of you, Taylor,

Amit, Billy. I feel like we had a lot of

fun holiday uh demos here and uh I think

we all had learned that we need to get

Taylor a sweater ASAP. [laughter]

>> Nana banana can only do so much.

>> All right.

>> All right. And thank you to all the

thousands of people who have tuned in

live. We can't wait to see you all next

week for DevSember. Again, we have this

all month long. So, thanks everyone and

happy holidays.

>> Happy holiday.

>> Happy holidays.
