gg - AI Web Search & Synthesis

The gg module leverages Google Gemini AI to perform real-time web searches, providing synthesized answers that combine the power of Google Search with AI's understanding.

When to Activate

• When the user asks questions that require up-to-date web information (e.g., current events, pricing, latest tech).
• When a summary of multiple web sources is needed.
• When the user wants to see the sources (URLs) for an AI-generated answer.
• When comparing information across different AI models (Gemini Pro vs. Flash).

Core Principles & Rules

• Formatting: Defaults to Markdown (--md) in TTY for readability.
• Source Citation: Use --source or --source-detail if the user needs to verify the origins of the info.
• Cache Management: Results are cached for 1 hour by default to save tokens; use --cache-time to override.
• Model Choice: Use --model to switch between high-reasoning (Pro) and high-speed (Flash) versions.

Patterns & Examples

Basic Question

# Ask a general question about current facts
x gg "Who won the Euro 2024?"

Source-Detailed Search

# Search for documentation with full source details
x gg --source-detail "Python tutorial for beginners"

Specific Model

# Use the high-reasoning model for complex math or logic
x gg --model gemini-2.5-pro "Latest breakthroughs in quantum computing"

Checklist

• Confirm if real-time web info is required for the query.
• Verify if the user wants source links included in the response.
• Check if a specific model (Pro/Flash) is better suited for the task.
