Google is discontinuing its Gemini CLI and Gemini Code Assist tools for consumer users, effective June 18, 2026. This move aligns with the company’s strategic shift towards its new development platform, Antigravity.
Gemini CLI and Code Assist were designed to assist developers in identifying and resolving coding issues. Gemini CLI, for instance, enabled users to interact with large codebases, generate applications from images or PDFs, and automate complex workflows directly from the terminal.
In a recent blog post, Google explained that the decision to sunset these tools stems from evolving user needs. Developers now require more sophisticated solutions involving multiple agents working collaboratively to tackle complex problems. To address this, Google is consolidating its efforts into Antigravity, an agent-first development platform that includes a robust server-side framework and a new terminal interface known as Antigravity CLI.
While Antigravity CLI may not immediately offer feature parity with Gemini CLI, it retains essential functionalities such as Agent Skills, Hooks, Subagents, and Extensions. This transition reflects Google’s commitment to providing a unified and efficient development environment that caters to the demands of modern software engineering.
It’s important to note that this change affects only consumer-level accounts. Enterprise users will continue to have access to Gemini Code Assist for GitHub without any alterations.
This development underscores a broader trend in the tech industry towards more integrated and collaborative development tools. As software projects grow in complexity, the need for platforms that facilitate seamless interaction between multiple agents becomes increasingly critical. Google’s introduction of Antigravity positions the company to better serve the evolving requirements of developers, offering a more cohesive and powerful suite of tools for modern software development.
