Google's open-source terminal AI agent powered by Gemini, with 1,000 free requests per day and a 1M token context window — capable of reading files, running code, and browsing the web.

Why it is useful

The 1,000 requests per day free tier with a 1M context window is one of the most generous free AI tool offerings available. Useful for long-document analysis, large codebase questions, and agentic tasks directly in the terminal without switching to a browser. Works alongside other CLI tools in shell pipelines for tasks that benefit from AI reasoning over large amounts of text.
