Google's Gemini CLI AI Agent Wants To Help Developers Code And Solve Problems: Know More
Last Updated: Gemini CLI is an open-source AI agent from Google that is designed to help developers code, solve problems and even automate their tasks. Google is building more AI agents so that people can automate tasks and let AI do most of the heavy lifting. The latest in this series is Gemini CLI which is an agent designed to help developers write code, execute them, generate images and solve complex problems on the fly. The company claims Gemini CLI is open source and offers an easy and lighter access to the AI chatbot for free on Windows, Mac and even Linux systems for developers.

AI agents are being pitted as the next-gen AI tools that promise to simplify tasks and help people with multi-tasking to let them focus on the important work.

Amazon, Google, Meta, and Uber slapped with $2 billion retroactive tax bill, Trump suspends Canada trade talks
US President Donald Trump has suspended trade talks with Canada, citing the country's refusal to back down on a new 3% digital services tax, calling it 'a direct and blatant attack on our country.' The digital services tax imposed by Canada will impact major tech companies like Amazon, Google, Meta and Uber. The tax is set to go into effect Monday and apply retroactively, leaving U.S. companies with a $2 billion U.S. bill due at the end of the month, Fortune reported. Trump called the tax 'egregious' and immediately terminated all trade discussions with Canada, vowing to announce new tariffs on Canadian goods within seven days. Trump later said he expects that Canada will remove the tax, citing the U.S.' economic leverage. 'Economically we have such power over Canada. We'd rather not use it,' Trump said in the Oval Office. 'It's not going to work out well for Canada. They were foolish to do it.' Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney responded to the situation on Friday by saying that his country would 'continue to conduct these complex negotiations in the best interests of Canadians. It's a negotiation.' This move is the latest development in Trump's ongoing trade disputes since his second term began. The U.S. has already imposed 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum as well as 25% tariffs on autos and a general 10% tax on imports from most countries. Canada and Mexico face separate tariffs of as much as 25% that Trump put into place under the auspices of stopping fentanyl smuggling, though some products are still protected under the 2020 U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement signed during Trump's first term. Despite these tensions, Canada remains a crucial trading partner, supplying a large portion of crude oil, electricity and critical minerals. As per data compiled by Fortune, around 60% of U.S. crude oil imports are from Canada, and 85% of U.S. electricity imports as well. Canada is also the largest foreign supplier of steel, aluminum and uranium to the U.S. and has 34 critical minerals and metals that the Pentagon is eager to obtain, the news agency said. Daniel Beland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal, said it is a domestic tax issue, but it has been a source of tensions between Canada and the United States for a while because it targets U.S. tech giants. 'The Digital Services Tax Act was signed into law a year ago so the advent of this new tax has been known for a long time,' Beland said. 'Yet, President Trump waited just before its implementation to create drama over it in the context of ongoing and highly uncertain trade negotiations between the two countries.'

Need for improving infra for tourism development stressed
Vijayawada Additional secretary, tourism, Government of India, Suman Billa said tourism sector acts as a best growth engine for economic development and stressed the need for increased share of tourism sector in GDP from existing 5 per cent to 10 per cent. Addressing AP Tourism Conclave Tch AI 2.0 here on Friday, the additional secretary said that the tourism sector was playing a key role in economic growth around the globe by contributing 9.1 per cent. He said the sector also turned a major employment provider and 2.5 crore jobs will be created by 2029. He said the tourism sector is netting 2.49 lakh crore foreign exchange. Stating that with improved infrastructural facilities in India, now it is time to tap tourism. He said 800 flights are being operated in the country and in the next five years, another 1,000 flights will be added. When we look forward towards bottlenecks despite improving infrastructure, Billa said that there was a huge gap between supply and demand in tourism sector, with supply is not keeping up with demand. He said 1.9 crore tourists are visiting India and the domestic tourist footfall stands at 254 crore. When we segregate the domestic tourists, 47 crore tourists are making pleasure trips for holidaying and shopping. He said 47 crore tourists is bigger figure than population of 150 countries and the number is expected to be triple by 2029. He stressed the need for discouraging domestic tourists from going abroad for holidaying by attracting them towards holidaying within the country. Suman Billa said that Rs 10 lakh crore investments needed for improving infrastructure in tourism sector in the country. Citing the example of temple town Tirupati, the additional secretary said that as per the pilgrims rush, Tirupati needs 10,000 rooms. He said infrastructure should be improved to provide any one an opportunity to stay back for three days in Tirupati along with his family. Stating that AP's Tourism Policy is the best policy, Billa said that AP has more potential to tap tourism with Buddhist sites, eco tourism in Araku and Papikondalu. He said as tourists from Arab countries are looking forward for eco tourism, AP can tap the potential by improving infrastructure by developing eco tourism townships. He said Konaseema, the jewel of AP, has rich potential to promote rural and country tourism. Appealing the investors that it is right time to invest in tourism sector, the additional secretary said that the long coastline in AP also has potential to develop beach and cruise tourism.
