    Doesn't work on windows arm machines.

    Interesting. I wonder if this will evolve into something closer to Codex or Claude Code, where it can actually work across files and tasks on your computer, not just act as a desktop chatbot.

      Google apps don't evolve, they fragment and then die. I'd give this one a year or two at most.

      They already have antigravity for that, I can see these two getting merged sometime in the future.

    To be honest, I have no idea what kind of user the Gemini app was built for. It's just too frustrating to use

      I have not used the windows app, but the android one works just fine. Same as chatgpt.

      You enter prompts and images and get a respond back.

      What issues are you experiencing?

        The Spark feature's UI isn't as good as the others.

        For example, I'm not sure if it should prominently show recent workload, and unless I use MCP to manipulate files on my computer, local file manipulation isn't possible. Personally, I don't think it's going to be that useful.

      i was looking for this comment. raises question how managements work at big tech. why didn't they release in first hand along with androud and ios apps, only long-standing apps are the one that started before generative ai stepped. whats the vision here?
