2 cents from me

1. "it's not available in your country yet" -- although I am currently in (and connected to) Czech republic train, my account is based on Luxembourg. Not sure which one takes precedence, but sad to see...

2. Join Discord -- Unexpected to see this from a Google product. More interestingly, do they really have people/staff there? Or is it just bunch of AI Agents running the discord server, not sure. (Haven't joined either)

The list of countries where its available is here: https://developers.google.com/opal/faq

Not a single EU country, so, yes.

It's been available in Vietnam for around 2 weeks now. So maybe it's a privacy thing in the EU?

Honestly though you're not missing much, it doesn't feel revolutionary.

I did a trial of Gemini Enterprise last month - a product absolutely not ready to be released - and they use Slack which also surprised me. So maybe internal teams at Google are allowed to choose their own messaging platform?

		Slack is expected as Kubernetes/Cloud-Native/CNCF already used Slack. They also had extensive set of bots and integrations, including GitHub workflows too. TIL, Google Labs use discord :)

Just short of 300k members on discord (almost 17k online) at the time of writing this. It's their Google Labs discord.
