Jin Daily AI Trivia: Gemini CLI – Better as an Assistant Than Just for Coding

Did you know that Gemini CLI can do much more than just code?

Since it has full access to your terminal, you can ask it to automate all kinds of tasks!

With the power of Gemini 2.5 Pro, I was able to scan an entire folder of receipt PDFs and get it to generate a CSV showing how much I spent on Project A over the past three months.

Even better — Homebrew now supports the Gemini CLI cask, so you can auto-update to the latest version easily (no more dealing with npm headaches!).

Gemini CLI comes packed with tools, and when combined with Google’s capabilities, you can get a ton of stuff done… for FREE!

Hope you learned something new today — see ya!
