zdnet.com Webb Wright 2025-08-24 21:17:14

CFOTO/Getty Images Google is bringing its proprietary AI more directly into coder workflows. On Wednesday, the company announced Gemini CLI, a free new agentic AI tool that integrates directly with a command line interface (CLI). Google positioned the agent as an immediate link between coders and Gemini 2.5 Pro, the latest iteration of Google's flagship AI model, saying it "provides lightweight access to Gemini, giving you the most direct path from your prompt to our model" in a blog post.

Gemini is getting ready to replace Google Assistant on Android

theverge.com Jess Weatherbed 2025-08-24 21:45:07

Android users will soon be able to let Gemini control device features and apps with fewer privacy concerns. In an email seen by Android Police, Google recently notified Gemini users that it will start rolling out an update on July 7th that allows the AI bot to “use Phone, Messages, WhatsApp, and Utilities on your phone, whether your Gemini Apps Activity is on or off.” Disabling the Gemini Apps Activity setting stops conversations with the chatbot from being used to “provide, improve, develop, a

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Gemini Live can now interact with other Google apps during flowing conversations. It can add or edit entries in Calendar, Keep, and Tasks, and fetch live location in Maps. Captions in Gemini Live are also rolling out more widely. Gemini is inching closer to being the intelligent virtual assistant Google touts it to be. Google recently flipped the switch for a set of controls that allow Gemini to access information from other Google apps in real time.

Joe Maring / Android Authority Keeping up with Gemini’s ever-growing list of capabilities is an impossible task. Between video generation tools like Veo 3, new features for Gemini Live, AI-powered web browsers, and more, Google’s doing so much with Gemini and so quickly that knowing what Gemini can and can’t do isn’t as easy as it should be. Not only does this make Gemini feel overwhelming at times, but it can also cause many features to be easily overlooked, especially the less flashy ones. F

What do Google's Gemini privacy changes actually mean?

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-26 17:08:19

A Google email about Gemini privacy is causing quite the stir. The alarm came from a change in what the chatbot can access when your history is turned off. However, the update's implications are far less sensational than initially feared. Here's the heart of the email that set off the hubbub in the otherwise sleepy summer tech press.
