Sign-in opens a browser on the same computer; without one, it will need a connection code. Google's docs say Antigravity CLI replaced Gemini CLI for free and Google One users on June 18, 2026. This page covers Gemini CLI only.
Gemini CLI docsBefore youconnect it
What does it spend?
Your creative balance, the same one the studio uses, within the budget you set. It quotes before each render. A render that makes no video, or whose result a safety check blocks, is refunded automatically; a video that is made is charged.
Who pays for Gemini CLI itself?
Gemini CLI has its own plans and model fees, paid to its maker. Pershot charges only for the videos and images it makes.
Can I take access away?
Yes. Revoke the connection under AI connections in the studio. It stops at once.
Has Pershot tested Gemini CLI?
Not yet. The label comes from Gemini CLI's own documentation, checked on 2026-10-22. An agent we test ourselves will say Tested by us.
