Google Gemini, on every machine you own.
Glueprint spawns the same gemini CLI you already run — your Google login, your config — and adds what the terminal can't: live sessions on every device, approvals from your phone, parallel worktrees, schedules, and memory.

How the Gemini harness works
Gemini CLI connects over the open Agent Client Protocol — the integration path Google ships in the CLI itself — with first-class detection and capabilities in Glueprint:
It runs your Gemini CLI, not a fork
Glueprint finds the gemini binary you already installed, probes the version, and spawns it. Your Google login or API key and your configuration come along, because it's the same CLI you run in the terminal.
First-class, over an open protocol
Gemini CLI speaks the Agent Client Protocol natively, so Glueprint drives it the way Google intended: JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio. Gemini gets first-class detection, a curated capability profile, and its own brand treatment across every surface.
Output streams as structure
Message chunks, tool calls, and tool-call updates arrive as protocol notifications and render as a live, typed timeline — watchable from desktop, browser, or phone instead of terminal scrollback.
Permission requests become approval cards
When Gemini asks to write a file or run a command, the protocol's permission request surfaces as an inline approval card on whatever device you're holding. Approve, deny, or auto-allow per tool.
What Gemini gains inside Glueprint
Everything below works with the Gemini CLI you have today — no migration, no new account for the model, no lock-in. Uninstall Glueprint and your terminal workflow is exactly as it was.
Live sessions on every surface
Watch every prompt, tool call, and diff stream in real time — desktop, web portal, iOS and Android. The session runs on your machine; the view follows you.
Approve from your phone
Permission prompts arrive as approval cards wherever you are. Kick off a refactor at your desk, approve the file writes from the couch.
Parallel sessions across worktrees
Run several Gemini sessions side by side, each in its own git worktree. Built-in worktree management, diffs, and a three-pane conflict resolver keep them from stepping on each other.
One screen, many machines
Tile Gemini sessions from your laptop, your desktop, and a homelab box into one Command Center mosaic — next to Claude Code and Codex if you run those too.
Assistants on Gemini
Promote Gemini to a persistent assistant: persona, constitution, long-term memory, and a daily journal on disk, loaded into every wake.
Routines on a schedule
Wake Gemini on cron: triage the inbox every 30 minutes, sweep PRs at 9am, run the nightly cleanup. Quiet hours and watermarks prevent re-fires.
Analytics per harness
Messages, sessions, and output tokens computed from session logs — compare Gemini against Claude Code, Codex, and your other ACP agents.
Encrypted to the relay
Remote viewing rides AES-256-GCM envelope encryption. The relay routes; it cannot read.
Gemini + Glueprint, asked plainly
Does Glueprint replace the Gemini CLI?
No. Glueprint is an Agentic Development Environment that hosts Gemini CLI. It spawns the official CLI you already installed and adds the surfaces around it: live session streaming, inline approvals, parallel worktrees, scheduling, memory, and remote control.
Do I need an API key or a separate Gemini subscription?
No. Glueprint doesn't resell model access. Sessions run through the gemini CLI's own authentication — your existing Google login, Gemini subscription, or API key is exactly what gets used.
What does "over ACP" mean here?
Gemini CLI ships native support for the Agent Client Protocol — an open standard for editor-to-agent communication. Glueprint speaks the protocol's client side, so Gemini connects the way Google built it to, while still getting first-class detection and its own capability profile.
Can I run Gemini from my phone?
Sessions always run on your machines — a laptop, a desktop, or a server with the headless daemon. The iOS and Android app streams them live, lets you send follow-ups, and handles permission approvals from anywhere.
Can I run Gemini next to Claude Code and Codex?
Yes — that's the point. Each harness is an adapter; sessions from all of them tile into the same Command Center, share the same task boards, and roll up in the same per-harness analytics.
Is my session content private?
Yes. Remote viewing routes AES-256-GCM-encrypted envelopes through the relay, which stores a wrapped key it cannot open — decryption happens on your devices. On the free local tier, session content never leaves your machine at all. See security.
