Google Gemini integration

Gemini conversations import into the same trail, the same way as ChatGPT — your prompts and Gemini's responses become events tagged google-gemini, paired into exchange cards and interleaved on the cross-tool timeline.

In Gemini, click Share → Create public link, then import it directly:

showtail import gemini https://gemini.google.com/share/<id>
# short share.gemini.google/<id> links work too

Showtail fetches the shared conversation, logs your prompts plus Gemini's answers, and dedupes by Gemini's per-message ids so re-importing the same link adds nothing. Options:

  • --no-responses — log only your prompts, not Gemini's answers (responses are imported by default).
  • --date 2026-06-10 — place the conversation on the timeline (Gemini shares carry no per-message timestamps, so without this they land at import time, in order).
  • -s, --session <id> — import into a specific session.

As a backup — your school blocks the link, or you'd rather not make a chat public — paste the conversation instead:

showtail import gemini --paste         # copy the conversation first; reads your clipboard (add -y to skip the preview)
# or from a saved transcript file:
showtail import gemini --file my-chat.txt

A paste has no role labels, so responses are only separated when the text includes You said: / Gemini said: markers — otherwise everything is recorded as your prompts (Showtail never guesses from writing style). Showtail prints back what it recorded so you can skim it; undo the whole batch with showtail import undo. The share link is the better path when you can use it — it captures your prompts and Gemini's answers exactly.

Privacy

A Gemini share link makes that conversation public on Google's servers. Create it, import it, then delete the link. The import itself stays local like everything else in Showtail.
