Everyone’s doing it! AI tools have been around for quite a while, but they are definitely having a moment, and people are enjoying the thrill of discovery with these new tools.
I thought it would be fun to show a quick and easy way you can use Google Gemini to create a simple Python app that tells you the weather.

Result
Note: The results might be slightly different each time you ask Gemini the same prompt. The first time I ran it, Gemini provided the latitude and longitude coordinates for New York City. The next time, the coordinates were for San Francisco.
To improve the line breaks, I displayed the script in Visual Studio Code and put my email address in the HEADERS section:
Final Details
Of course you also have to know how to install requests and run the Python script on your computer! But Gemini did the coding for you. Sweet!
