💻 Build with Google's AI for free [Workshop]

Stay in flow, experiment at no cost, and lean on an open-source community...

Hey there.

Google recently announced an open-source AI coding platform that brings the full power of Gemini 2.5 Pro directly into your terminal.

And, because of its truly unique approach to pricing, early adopters are already making the switch (and saving hundreds of dollars each month!)

Inside The Rundown AI University, we're helping members master Google Gemini CLI to build projects that previously required expensive subscriptions.

Even if you’ve never tried AI-assisted coding, here's what you can achieve with this breakthrough technology:

Bridge the gap between intelligence and real-world terminal execution

If you’re trying to build complex projects, the last thing you need is generated text that you still have to copy, paste, and execute manually. 

Real-time terminal integration solves this by upgrading your command line into an intelligent assistant that executes complex tasks automatically based on natural language commands.

Plus, instead of hoping AI-generated code works correctly, Gemini CLI analyzes your codebase context and implements solutions directly.

Google’s new capabilities help you:

  • Query and edit large codebases beyond the already impressive ~750,000 word context window, making it easy to analyze entire projects

  • Execute commands and scripts with proper authentication and permissions directly through conversational prompts

  • Access real-time web data through integrated Google Search for debugging and research without leaving your terminal

  • Connect to development tools through Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for seamless workflow integration

  • Automate complex multi-step processes using a reason-and-act loop that plans, executes, and recovers from errors

  • Generate and test applications from PDFs, sketches, or natural language descriptions with immediate feedback

Say goodbye to excessive context switching. With Gemini CLI, you’ll be able to stay in a state of flow by integrating AI directly into your existing environment.

Eliminate your development costs with 1,000 free daily requests

Other tools operate on usage-based pricing that can quickly escalate on ambitious projects. This creates anxiety about experimentation and forces developers to ration their AI use.

But Google is so sure that you’ll prefer their product, they’re apparently willing to lose money to let you build with it. 

Your Gemini CLI access includes 60 requests per minute and 1,000 requests per day, at zero cost, giving you unlimited experimentation with Gemini 2.5 Pro's massive context window.

This amount of usage allows you to:

  • Build and iterate rapidly without worrying about API costs accumulating during debugging sessions

  • Experiment with complex automations that require multiple iterations to perfect, ensuring you can refine workflows until they're production-ready

  • Handle large-scale analysis projects that need extensive back-and-forth with AI for comprehensive codebase understanding

  • Create comprehensive documentation by having AI analyze and document entire project structures without cost concerns

  • Develop custom MCP integrations that connect your existing tools and workflows with unlimited testing during development

  • Train team members on AI-assisted development without per-user licensing costs that escalate with team growth

When you have 1,000 daily requests at your disposal, you can move from asking one-off questions to building systems that automate significant parts of your process (without the enterprise costs).

Leverage a platform that’s being built to last

Because Gemini CLI is fully open source, a global community of developers actively contributes fixes and features, while Google's official backing provides the reliability that matters for professional work.

That means you get the best of both worlds — the reliability of a tool engineered and supported by Google, but with the full transparency of an open-source project. You can even inspect the code yourself, ensuring it meets your security standards.

Gemini CLI is a compelling, but still underused innovation that appeals to professional developers and curious knowledge workers looking to increase what they’re capable of.

Of course, just because the tool is available doesn’t mean everyone knows how to unlock its full potential.

This Friday, at 4 PM ET, Dr. Alvaro Cintas is teaching our members:

  • What Google Gemini CLI is and how it brings powerful AI directly into your terminal

  • How to easily install Gemini CLI on your device in just a few steps

  • How to use it for coding, debugging, content creation, and automating everyday tasks

By the end of the workshop, you'll confidently be able to install and use Gemini CLI to boost your productivity right from the command line, connect it to your existing development tools, and take full advantage of a platform that handles complex multi-step coding tasks.

See you in class,

P.S. Coding is no longer just for experienced developers. You can now literally afford to make mistakes as you try to bring your best ideas to life. Gemini CLI is a no-brainer opportunity to build automations and apps that your peers haven't thought of yet. Learn how to get started with a 14-day trial here.
