24 alternatives to You can now run Gemini CLI in the browser

Hello HN, we are thrilled to share with you in preview BrowserCode: A FOSS web app to run TUI agents (such as Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI and the like) fully in the browser. This first release focuses on Gemini CLI and Claude Code will follow soon. BrowserCode is released under the Apache License, version 2.0. BrowserCode is based on BrowserPod (https://browserpod.io), an in-browser WebAssembly-based code sandboxing technology that can currently run Node.js, python, git, bash and many other command line tools. This will further expand to Ruby / Rails, Go, Rust and…

    We built BrowserCode, a FOSS web app to run TUI agents (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, others coming soon) fully in the browser, locally. To use BrowserCode, you'll need to login to each CLI with the corresponding login, i.e. with your Anthropic account or API key. All the data and execution stays completely local to the browser and it's persistent across sessions thanks to a disk backend based on the Origin Private File System API or IndexedDB. This is running the unmodified Claude Code (and Gemini CLI) command-line tool in browser using BrowserPod (https://browserpod.io), a…

    A 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!

    As I started to use Claude Code to do more random tasks I realized I could basically build any CLI tool and it would use it. So I built one that controls the browser and open-sourced it. It should work with Codex or any other CLI-based agent! I have a long term idea where the models are all local and then the tool is privacy preserving because it's easy to remove PII from text, but I'd definitely not recommend using this for anything important just yet. You'll need a Gemini key until I (or someone else) figure out how to distill a local version out of that part of the pipeline. Github link:…

    Hey HN, Today we're launching Code, a community-driven, open-source coding agent for your terminal. It's a fork of OpenAI's codex with a focus on developer ergonomics and local control. Key features: - Browser integration – attach to your Chrome via CDP or use a built-in headless browser. You can browse pages, run the CLI in a browser session, and even take screenshots from the terminal. - Multi-agent commands – /plan, /solve and /code orchestrate multiple models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) to propose and implement solutions, with consensus or race options. - Diff viewer – see…

    Hey HN, I'm excited to share BrowserBee, a privacy-first AI assistant in your browser that allows you to run and automate tasks using your LLM of choice (currently supports Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, and Ollama). Short demo here: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/209c7042-6d54-4fc... Inspired by projects like Browser Use and Playwright MCP, its main advantage is the browser extension form factor which makes it more convenient for day to day use, especially for less technical users. Its also a bit less cumbersome to use on websites that require you to be…

    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.

    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

    CloudCLI is an open source web and mobile UI/mini IDE for Claude Code, Gemini, Codex and Cursor CLI. It sits on top of your existing agent install and gives you a browser interface you can open from any device. You can start sessions, resume existing ones, browse and edit files, manage git and the same control as sitting at your desktop. Try it: npx @siteboon/claude-code-ui (works with your existing setup) When you open it you'll already see all the sessions from your terminal. Some backstory:I've wanted to develop from my phone for a long time. When Claude Code arrived, the…

    Chrome now includes a native on-device LLM (Gemini Nano) starting in version 138. I've been building with it since it was in origin trials, it's powerful but the official Prompt API is still a bit awkward: - Enforces sessions even for basic usage - Requires user-triggered downloads - Lacks type safety or structured error handling So I open-sourced a small TypeScript wrapper I originally built for other projects to smooth over the rough edges: github: https://github.com/kstonekuan/simple-chromium-ai npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/simple-chromium-ai…

    Obsidian plugin that connects to CLI agents you already have installed. No built-in LLM integration, no API keys to configure in the plugin. It spawns your tool as a child process, pipes vault context into each prompt, and streams responses into a chat panel. Supports Claude Code, Opencode, and any custom binary via a generic adapter. Adding a new agent is a single file. Free, proudly Open Source (MIT licensed). Would love feedback on this for anyone that that tries it out.

    I recently experimented using Gemini 2 Flash and Gemini 2 Flash Thinking with unrestricted code execution in a local sandbox and open sourced the results: https://github.com/gradion-ai/freeact. Here's an example that uses Gemini 2 Flash Thinking as agent that acts via code, executed in a sandbox based on IPython and Docker: https://gist.github.com/krasserm/dcdae47f85ee9922e3284953d07... Gemini's code execution environment is restricted to selected Python libraries like NumPy or SymPy and prevents the model from installing new packages, besides other…

    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…
