If there are any Google employees reading:

I want to go all in the Gemini ecosystem but several things keep me going back to OpenAI:

* the Gemini app is glitchy on iPhone (my chats frequently fail or are lost if I background the app)

* the Work equivalent (I guess task?) is not as powerful. I often have ChatGPT Work to arbitrary computation and even install ML on the short-lived VM.

* there is no simple integration between antigravity and the Gemini app. I want a way to continue working away from my server while using the familiar app. No I don’t want VNC.

* ChatGPT sites are cool for putting up proof of concepts with zero effort

* Getting banned from Gemini could mean nuking your gmail account. Can't afford that risk even at low levels.

I believe this has been rectified and now if you get caught breaking Gemini ToS, it just bans you from Gemini (I think you might even get a cool-down warning ban first).

For more egregious violations like the kid uploading naked pictures of himself, I don't know.

Glad to see this. However, given the general level of product confusion in the Gemini lineup, I'm not planning on relying on this even if it is their intent.

They said it was rectified and some weeks later people kept getting banned.

You can't trust them. It's not worth the risk. And the models and lack of subsidy definitely don't warrant the risk.

Also, the Gemini desktop app is not really extensible, compared to say the Claude app where I can add plugings, connect to local files, and even create custom local MCP servers by editing local config files. Gemini's app is basically just a wrapper for the web one. There's literally no reason to use it over the web interface.

There is antigravity remote, if you want to continue your antigravity sessions in a WebUI, give it a try. If you're a vibe coder, then you can use AI studio, there you can publish sites to GCP with zero effort and cost. If you are a software developer,then it's a matter of two skills to deploy from antigravity harness, I use Cloudflare and it works fine

I didn’t know about AI studio. It looks like a completely different ecosystem with no model selection or way to tie into my own computer use.

Here’s a concrete example:

Look at my email for combinatorics worksheets. Publish the questions to a simple website. Make animations and interactive diagrams to help explain. Use my server to generate TTS.

And an antigravity app for Android.

On the other hand, I'm very glad they have separate quotas.

FYI, you can use Antigravity as a web app with "remote control" mode. It works pretty well, better than VNC since the page is responsive, though the text is pretty small and the UX if not really differen than the computer version.

I've found agy remote control doesn't work anywhere as nicely as claude code. I tried using agy on my PC, enabled remote control, then opened on my Android browser. If I type anything, there is no way for me to delete (backspace) if I make any typos other than refreshing the page. It basically made the experience unusable for me. I don't understand how something so basic as the backspace button can be broken. Every time I try a Google AI product something very basic is broken. PDF uploads on the Gemini app also don't work nearly as well as with ChatGPT or Claude. These are all things I'm sure Gemini Carbon can find and fix in 1 day. I don't understand how they ignore basic UX to such an extreme.

▲adamisnotroman a day ago | parent [-]

If I had to guess the backspace bug is usually the Android keyboard. Gboard sends composition events instead of keydown events, and a lot of web UIs only listen for keydown. Switching off predictive text or trying a different keyboard fixed it for me.

Otherwise you can use agy on the Cosyra mobile app, its far better. I'm not going to claim its better than the Claude app, but its certainly better than the Gemini RC.

Does the antigravity iOS app give you the remote coding features you're looking for?

▲n_u a day ago | parent [-]

Is there an antigravity iOS app? I just searched on the App Store and couldn’t find one

▲brickers a day ago | parent | next [-]

Sorry, no there isn’t - I thought there was but it’s just a pwa for https://antigravity.google.com/

▲wmedrano a day ago | parent | prev [-]

I've only briefly tried it, but can (at least on Linux), run `agy remote-control start` and then access the device through antigravity.goole.com

Google employees might be reading. But they don’t care what you want.
