+# IDE Integration
 
 Gemini CLI can integrate with your IDE to provide a more seamless and
 context-aware experience. This integration allows the CLI to understand your
 workspace better and enables powerful features like native in-editor diffing.
 
-Currently, the supported IDEs are [Antigravity](https://antigravity.google),
-[Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/), and other editors that
-support VS Code extensions. To build support for other editors, see the
-[IDE Companion Extension Spec](./ide-companion-spec.md).

+    compatible editors.
+2.  **Agent Client Protocol (ACP)**: An open protocol for interoperability

+    tools like JetBrains and Zed, which leverage the ACP Agent Registry for easy
+    discovery and installation of compatible agents like Gemini CLI.
+
+## VS Code companion extension
+
+The **Gemini CLI Companion extension** grants Gemini CLI direct access to your
+VS Code compatible IDEs and improves your experience by providing real-time
+context such as open files, cursor positions, and text selection. The extension
+also enables a native diffing interface so you can seamlessly review and apply
+AI-generated code changes directly within your editor.

+## Agent Client Protocol (ACP)
+
+ACP is an open protocol that standardizes how AI coding agents communicate with
+code editors and IDEs. It addresses the challenge of fragmented distribution,
+where agents traditionally needed custom integrations for each client. With ACP,
+developers can implement their agent once, and it becomes compatible with any
+ACP-compliant editor.
+
+For a comprehensive introduction to ACP, including its architecture and
+benefits, refer to the official
+[ACP Introduction](https://agentclientprotocol.com/get-started/introduction)
+documentation.
+
+### The ACP Agent Registry
+
+Gemini CLI is officially available in the **ACP Agent Registry**. This allows
+you to install and update Gemini CLI directly within supporting IDEs and
+eliminates the need for manual downloads or IDE-specific extensions.
+
+Using the registry ensures:
+
+- **Ease of use**: Discover and install agents directly within your IDE
+  settings.
+- **Latest versions**: Ensures users always have access to the most up-to-date
+  agent implementations.
+
+For more details on how the registry works, visit the official
+[ACP Agent Registry](https://agentclientprotocol.com/get-started/registry) page.
+You can learn about how specific IDEs leverage this integration in the following
+section.
+
+### IDE-specific integration
+
+Gemini CLI is an ACP-compatible agent available in the ACP Agent Registry.
+Here’s how different IDEs leverage the ACP and the registry:
+
+#### JetBrains IDEs
+
+JetBrains IDEs (like IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, or GoLand) offer built-in registry
+support, allowing users to find and install ACP-compatible agents directly.
+
+For more details, refer to the official
+[JetBrains AI Blog announcement](https://blog.jetbrains.com/ai/2026/01/acp-agent-registry/).
+
+#### Zed
+
+Zed, a modern code editor, also integrates with the ACP Agent Registry. This
+allows Zed users to easily browse, install, and manage ACP agents.
+
+Learn more about Zed's integration with the ACP Registry in their
+[blog post](https://zed.dev/blog/acp-registry).
+
+#### Other ACP-compatible IDEs
+
+Any other IDE that supports the ACP Agent Registry can install Gemini CLI
+directly through their in-built registry features.
