Research direction
Start by reviewing the current Windows setup for google-agents-cli, including Python, Google Cloud CLI, ADC authentication, and PATH requirements. Compare the possible scopes—a bundled GUI, standalone installer, or VS Code/Cursor integration—and define one concrete target and its completion criteria before implementation.

Description
What is your feature suggestion?
Setting up the environment for google-agents-cli on Windows is currently very friction-heavy for developers (managing Python versions, installing Google Cloud CLI separately, handling ADC authentication, and fighting PATH environment variables).
To make this amazing tool accessible to more creators, please consider productizing it into a standalone software/GUI. Instead of wrapping complex CLI dependencies that easily break on different OS platforms, a unified installer or an extension integrated directly into IDEs (like VS Code/Cursor) would dramatically improve the developer experience. Let's move away from environment setup hell!
What will this enable you to do?
