24 alternatives to Gemini-Engineer Tool
Hey everyone! I've developed Gemini Engineer, an AI-powered CLI tool for software developers, using the Gemini API! This tool aims to assist with project creation, file management, and coding tasks through AI. It's still in development, and I'd love to get feedback from fellow developers like you. Check out the project on GitHub: https://github.com/ozanunal0/gemini-engineer Please give it a try and share your thoughts, suggestions, or any bugs you find. Thanks a bunch!

Gemini CLI▲224A simple weekend project, to check if chat conversation could be used on CLI. Uses Google Gemini's gemini-2.0-flash model. Configs will make it nicer, but I wanted to keep it simple to test and launch for now. I can add things for you :) Please give it a try!

Hey HN! Thank you for all the support and feedback on my original submission 2 months ago. I've been improving the backend using a MCTS/AlphaZero approach and it's currently producing much better results. My long term goal is to allow users to manage multiple projects, deployed autonomously, both from scratch and by making continual updates all prompted with natural language. The cost of each project has been lowered to $9 as performance with smaller models has improved (I migrated from Claude-3-Opus to gemini-1.5-flash). Thanks for checking it out!

I've been exploring the (not so=) amazing potential of AI in coding and have compiled a list of tools. From AI-powered IDEs to code generators, this resource is my contribution to the community. I'm still on the fence about including txt2sql projects, as their functionality seems too basic to me. And I'm personally maintaining this, so your feedback is wellcome.

Cosmic CLI▲117Hi HN, I'm Tony, founder of Cosmic (a headless CMS). We just open-sourced a CLI that covers the full lifecycle of a content-driven app from creating the content model to deploying to production to updating the codebase all without leaving the terminal. Here's what the full workflow looks like: # Create a project with an AI-generated content model cosmic projects create # → "A recipe blog with recipes, categories, and authors" # Generate content cosmic content -p "Create 5 recipes with images across different categories" # Build a full-stack app wired to your content cosmic build -p "A modern…

Hi everyone, I've been working on a CLI tool that can help to easily run any model in claude, Codex, Gemini, Pi, and OpenCode. It's also an API keys manager, supports multiple providers or OpenAI/Claude/Gemini accounts. You can add openrouter, poe, Vercel AI gateways etc. It has a built-in provider that is free to all, which is using Deepseek-V4, no login or API key required, add your own when you're ready. After installation you can try claude instantly (No config, no login): aivo claude Hope it's useful to someone.

Clink lets you use the coding agents you already pay for (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Z.ai GLM) to build → live-preview → ship apps in an isolated container. No token purchases, no extra cost for coding. Just link your existing Claude/OpenAI/Gemini account and start building and deploying instantly. Why we built this: Claude Code is our go-to for coding, but it lacked preview + deploy capabilities. We didn't want to pay Lovable again just for that. Different agents excel at different tasks - Claude Code for versatility, Codex for complex work, GLM for speed. We needed one…

Each AI has strengths - Claude reasons well, Gemini handles long context, Codex integrates with GitHub. But switching between them means losing context. Built HiveTechs: one workspace where Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, DROID, and 7 others run in integrated terminals with shared memory. Also added consensus validation - 3 AIs analyze independently, 4th synthesizes. Real IDE with Monaco editor, Git, PTY terminals. Not a wrapper. Looking for feedback: hivetechs.io

Clai allows you to pipe files into practically any AI model, local or remote, and then stores the output as conversations locally. Supports tooling calls for many convenient bash tools, also supports writing local files. You can also pre-prompt with the new profiles, which enables convenient swapping between custom tool + prompt configurations. Personally I use clai practically all the time. It auto-generate unittests in seconds, can analyze huge complex codebases, interpret confusing output + syntax, etc. It's a tool, like a hammer, so you need to know how to use it. But once you do it…

I built a plugin that lets Claude Code delegate work to Gemini CLI. I started this after finding myself reaching for Gemini more often on long context repo work. I have been especially liking Gemini’s codebaseinvestigator for long context. This is inspired by openai/codex-plugin-cc. Code Review, adversarial review. Under the hood its Gemini CLI over ACP Would love feedback from people using Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or ACP. I am especially curious whether this feels useful outside my own workflow. Its a great combo with Opus 4.7 + Gemini 3.1 workflows

JIT▲14Hey HN! I just shipped a new version of JIT.dev — you can now chat with multiple AI models like Gemini, Qwen, OpenAI, Claude, DeepSeek (and more) all in one place. Super handy if you wanna compare how they think and code side by side. What do you think?

Hi HN, I'm thrilled to share with you think, a command-line tool that I developed while diving back into the programming scene. For the past few years, my focus had shifted from hands-on programming to managerial roles, my last one being at Affirm (I started Affirm's Polish office). However, I recently left my job to revisit my passion for coding and see if I could still write code that works. Not to mention that with what is currently going on in AI if you are a developer this probably the best possible time for a sabbatical in human history :) My first attempt was with LangChain, but I…

I am a UX designer who has been asked to help design a CLI. Looking for tools to quickly prototype a CLI that could also be easily shared with colleagues or used for user testing, I couldn't find anything. The only option I could think of was to code something from scratch using one of the existing CLI libraries. To make designing, prototyping and user testing CLIs easier for me in the future, and hopefully to help other designers who are not as comfortable with coding, I have developed this CLI prototyping tool. I would be very interested to hear if this tool would be useful to other people…
