## Summary

Philipp Schmid says Google has launched the Gemini API CLI, a command-line tool for calling the Gemini API. It can be used from agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Antigravity, and is not a new coding agent. It can generate images, video, speech, and music, analyze PDFs and other media, transcribe recordings, and run Deep Research in the background.

## Post

We launched the Gemini API CLI. A CLI for calling the Gemini API. Give it to the agent you already use (Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes...). It's NOT a new coding agent you can use it too:

1. Generate images, video, speech, music.
2. Analyze PDFs, images, audio, video, YouTube URLs,
3. Transcribe recordings to md / json / srt,
4. Run Deep Research in the background.

Stateless. No memory, no chat mode. Your agent owns the context and the plan, gemini-api does the API call. Build for Agents, it's self-describing. `--help`,  `--dry-run`...
