Gemini CLI is breaking out of the terminal and joining Zed's code editor


Gemini CLI brings the first AI agent to multiplayer code editor Zed, with more to come.

Gemini CLI expands to the integrated development environment (IDE) starting today, Aug. 28, as it is now natively available in Zed's multiplayer code editor. The AI agent functions similarly to a thinking model, showing the visual changes it's making while completing your request — even if the prompt requires editing multiple files. "We picked JSON RPC for its simplicity and defined a minimal schema for the interaction between Zed, acting as the client a developer uses, and Gemini CLI, running as the agent."
