Gemini CLI

Hi - I work on this. Uptake is a steep curve right now, spare a thought for the TPUs today.

Appreciate all the takes so far, the team is reading this thread for feedback. Feel free to pile on with bugs or feature requests we'll all be reading.

So, as a member of an organization who pays for google workspace with gemini, I get the message `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT environment variable not found. Add that to your .env and try again, no reload needed!`

At the very least, we need better documentation on how to get that environment variable, as we are not on GCP and this is not immediately obvious how to do so. At the worst, it means that your users paying for gemini don't have access to this where your general google users do.

I believe Workspace users have to pay a separate subscription to use the Gemini CLI, the so-called “Gemini for Google Cloud”, which starts at an additional 19 dollars per month [^1]. If that’s really the case, it’s very disappointing to me. I expected access to Gemini CLI to be included in the normal Workspace subscription.

So to be clear (this isn't your fault of course, this is a Google problem), as someone with my own domain for my email:

* First google forced me to start paying for my email domain.

* Then they increased the cost to force me to pay for AI features

* Now, I can't actually use the AI features without spending even more money, I could use them if I just had a gmail address and didn't pay google.

Well done Google, you've finally pursaded me to get around to transfering my custom email domain off google. Anyone have any preferences?
