CLI for Google AI Search (gai.google) — run AI-powered code/tech searches headlessly from your terminal

Google AI (gai.google) gives Gemini-powered answers for technical queries — think AI-enhanced search with code understanding. I built a CLI for it using headless Playwright since the site is fully browser-rendered.

cli-web-gai search "how does Redis persistence work" cli-web-gai search "Python asyncio vs threading" --json cli-web-gai search "Rust ownership model explained" --format markdown 

Because the site renders in-browser (no public API), the CLI spins up a headless Chromium session, runs the query, and extracts the structured response. No auth needed — fully public.

Output includes the AI answer, any code blocks, and source citations. --json gives structured output for piping into other tools or agents.
