@bobbuitech @GoogleCloudTech I think that would be a fantastic use case. Give it a go and see! I haven’t tried that yet personally

The first week of #DEVcember, we're making a list (and checking it twice) and exploring the Gemini CLI workflow.

Join us December 2 at 9am PT for our kickoff livestream on building your entire AI workflow using Gemini CLI → https://t.co/wSAKY0wzpe

Qualities that make a team perform well without AI are also the things that make a team perform well with AI

[Billy Jacobson @BillyJacobson]

Over 5000 technologists were surveyed and this statistic shocked me: Only 39% have used an AI agent to autonomously write code.

I'm here with the lead of DORA at @Google talking about AI-assisted development.

I spent the day with the forefront of developers building the next generation of software with and for AI at @ainativedev DevCon

"Create a bar graph of users and their loyalty points from my Firestore database."

Firestore extension for the Gemini CLI makes database work so easy

full setup guide and tutorial: https://t.co/m8gkF6OVdy

[Billy Jacobson @BillyJacobson]

I built a a real-time game backend with Firestore database to manage live player state. Then, @goose_oss connected the frontend to our backend.

Just had to pass it our API keys and config, and it brought the code to life.

@rseroter @OfficialLoganK How'd I do? 🍓😂🙈https://t.co/aYyUgjJeD0

Don't use a generic AI, tailor it to your business needs 🍓🧠

[Billy Jacobson @BillyJacobson]

How can #GenAI be used for reliable development if it can sometimes hallucinate?

1. Try using GenAI for query generation, not result generation
2. Fine places in your data pipelines with more error tolerance
3. Always double-check before production!
