The UI is certainly buggy, and things are getting fixed all the time. Guess it was more a "let people try the agent manager" instead of overfocusing on looks.

Because it installs gemini-cli in the GitHub Action VM and then passes the comment from the issue/PR as prompt to gemini-cli.

That description is 100% correct!

In this case, the "chat" happens as a comment on an issue or PR addressing @gemini-cli

Usage statistics includes "your prompts and answers", see the last paragraph in the ToS. I have no idea why legal insists we write "statistics" rather than "data".
fhinkel··on Gemini CLI
Yes it does.
fhinkel··on Gemini CLI
That's valuable feedback and we're taking it to heart.

Hope this is helpful, just merged: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/docs/t...
fhinkel··on Gemini CLI
Yes, there were meetings and lawyers. We just merged the update. Hopefully it's much clearer now: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/docs/t...

It applies to Gemini CLI too. We've tried to clear up our docs, apologies for the confusion. https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/docs/t...

We have! Sorry our docs were confusing! We tried to clear things up https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/docs/t...

Hey all, This is a really great discussion, and you've raised some important points. We realize the privacy policies for the Gemini CLI were confusing depending on how you log in, and we appreciate you calling that out.

To clear everything up, we've put together a single doc that breaks down the Terms of Service and data policies for each account type, including an FAQ that covers the questions from this thread.

Here’s the link: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/docs/t...

Thanks again for pushing for clarity on this!

Super weird! I've been using it the last week, and never hit the quota limit for free users. We're having some capacity issues right now, but that should not affect the quota. Would love it if you can try tomorrow or so again!
fhinkel··on Gemini CLI
Agree! We're working on it!
fhinkel··on Gemini CLI
Thanks for pointing that out, we're working on clarifying!
fhinkel··on Gemini CLI
We're working on it! The response has been incredible, so if you don't want to wait you can also get started with an API key from: https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey Apologies!
fhinkel··on Gemini CLI
I played around with it to automate GitHub tasks for me (tagging and sorting PRs and stuff). Sometimes it needs a little push to use the API instead of web search, but then it even installs the right tools (like gh) for you. https://youtu.be/LP1FtpIEan4

If you use your personal gmail account without billing enabled, you get generous requests and never have to worry about a surprise bill.

I love healthy competition that leads to better use experiences

Ask Gemini CLI to re-write itself in your preferred language

Gemini doesn't give a correct response when asked about what model it is. You can convince it to answer pretty much any version number. From the docs, it's a fine-tuned the Gemini 2.0 model for developers.
