Gemini CLI + Pontius

Google's AI in your terminal. Same powerful email management, powered by Google's Gemini models. Different AI, identical workflow.

Why Gemini?

Google's AI for your inbox

Gemini brings multimodal understanding and massive context windows to email management. If you prefer Google's AI, Pontius works seamlessly.

Long context window

Handle lengthy email threads and complex conversations. Gemini's extended context means nothing gets lost in long chains.

Strong reasoning

Gemini Pro and Ultra models bring advanced reasoning to email triage. Complex decisions, nuanced responses.

Same workflow

Pontius commands work identically whether you use Gemini or Claude. Switch AI tools without changing anything else.

“Different brain, same workflow. That's what no lock-in actually means.”

Prefer Google's AI? Already using Gemini CLI for other work? Great. Pontius doesn't care which AI you choose — your email workflow stays the same.

What you get

Full email management with Gemini

Every Pontius feature works with Gemini. Triage, reply, organize, learn — all powered by Google's models.

Read & triage

Ask Gemini to check your inbox, summarize what's new, and prioritize what needs your attention. No more scrolling through noise.

Draft & reply

Gemini drafts contextual replies matching your tone and style. Review, edit if needed, and send — all from the command line.

Organize & archive

Move emails to folders, archive billing noise, label important threads. Gemini learns your organizational patterns over time.

Knowledge base

Build a persistent knowledge base of contacts, templates, and rules. The more you use it, the smarter your email management becomes.

Getting started

Quick Start

1. Install Pontius

$ curl -fsSL https://getpontius.com/install.sh | sh

2. Add your email account

$ pontius
# Follow the TUI prompts to add Gmail, Outlook, or any IMAP provider

3. Activate your license

$ pontius activate YOUR-LICENSE-KEY
License activated successfully.

4. Provide context to Gemini

When starting a Gemini CLI session, include the Pontius commands:

You have access to Pontius for email management. Commands:
- pontius list              # List recent emails
- pontius read <uid>        # Read an email
- pontius reply <uid> "msg" # Reply to an email
- pontius archive <uids>    # Archive emails

When handling emails, draft responses for review before sending.

5. Start managing email

# In Gemini CLI, just ask naturally:

"Check my inbox and tell me what needs attention"

"Reply to the support ticket from Sarah"

"Move all the Stripe receipts to my Billing folder"

In action

Example workflow

You say:

"Check my inbox, archive billing noise, and draft replies to customer emails."

Gemini responds:

I've reviewed your inbox. Here's the summary:

  • Archived (billing): Stripe payout notification, AWS invoice, Vercel receipt
  • Customer emails: Found 2 support requests

Draft reply for Sarah (API question):

Hi Sarah,

The API rate limit is 1000 requests/hour on the standard plan.
You can check current usage in Settings > API.

Let me know if you need anything else!

Should I send this reply or would you like to modify it?

The secret sauce

It gets smarter every session

Unlike AI tools that start fresh every time, Pontius builds a persistent knowledge base. Contacts learn preferred tones. Common scenarios get templates. Rules automate the routine.

Your knowledge base works across any AI. Start with Gemini, switch to Claude later — everything you've built comes with you.
