nodecode-gemini-live-bridge

Gemini Live: one duplex session with the Gemini Live API, its model catalog and its token meter. A Nodecode rewrite of cruzlxyz/gemini-live-bridge by cruzlxyz.

The original was a minibar in a desktop app: press play, talk, hear Gemini answer, watch the tokens. A terminal has no microphone and no speaker, so what this cell keeps is the session behind it — a Live session that stays open across tool calls, in text, with the catalog, the thinking level, the resumption handle and Google's own token count.

Get it

Tell the agent "add the gemini live bridge cell", or run nodecode add nc://gemini-live-bridge.

Set it up

A Google AI Studio key with Live API access, from https://aistudio.google.com/apikey.

api_key_env — the name of the environment variable holding the key, usually GOOGLE_API_KEY. The key itself is read from the environment at call time; nothing is written where the cell can read it back.
model — optional. Empty asks the key's own catalog and dials the first candidate; naming one, models/gemini-3.8-live say, pins it.
thinking_level — low or high; it is sent only to *-extended-thinking models, which require it.

Use it

gemini_live_bridge_talk — the tool. One turn: the prompt goes into the open session and the answer comes back with the session's token count. The session survives between calls, so a second turn has the first in context. A session that drops is redialled once with Google's session-resumption handle; new_session: true starts clean.
gemini_live_bridge_models — every Live-capable model on the key, in the original's fixed order: gemini-3.8-live first, then extended-thinking, then native-audio-latest, then the newest native-audio preview, the rest by name. Transcribe and translate models are left out, as the original left them out.
/gemini-live-bridge — status, models, say <text>, stop.

Text goes to generativelanguage.googleapis.com and nowhere else: ListModels, one single-use ephemeral token per dial, and the constrained Live socket. The session's handle is kept in memory only, so a restart starts a fresh session.
