Learn to Use AI Agents: OpenCode + Gemini API
AI Tools Series
AI is no longer just about chatting with a chatbot. With AI agents, you can go a step further: AI can write and execute code, work with files, and save the results directly to your computer.
However, UCR does not currently provide institutionally supported AI coding agents such as Claude Code or OpenAI Codex. In this hands-on workshop, I will introduce OpenCode, an open-source AI agent application that can connect to different AI models through APIs.
We will explore how to connect OpenCode to the Google Gemini API through UCR ITS services, providing eligible UCR faculty and graduate students with an alternative way to experiment with AI agents using UCR-supported resources.
You will learn the basics of setting up and using an AI agent, see how it can assist with coding and file-based tasks, and explore practical applications for research and everyday academic work.
