Anti Gravity is a flop. I mean it uses Gemini under the hood.

But you cannot use it with an API key.

If you're on a workspace account, you can't have normal individual plan.

You have to have the team plan with $100/month or nothing.

Google's product management tier is beyond me.



OK, but Gmail, Google Maps, Google Docs, and Google Search etc are ubiquitous. `Google' has even become a verb. Google might take a shotgun approach, but it certainly does create widely used products.


I will add that there's also Gemini in Chrome. With Chrome being the largest browser by market share, that's a powerful de facto default.

where art thou anti-trust enforcement...


Every personal computer user except Chromebook users went out of their way to download Chrome. What exactly do you want “anti trust” to do?


maybe not allow google to bundle gemini with chrome?


So should we also not allow OpenAI to bundle the OpenAI model with the ChatGPT app

Absolutely no one besides ChromeOS users are forced to use Chrome.


Anti-trust doesn’t have to involve force, but monopolistic behavior.

Google has spent over a decade advertising Chrome on all their properties and has an unlimited budget and active desire to keep Chrome competitive. Mozilla famously needs Google’s sponsorship to stay solvent. Apple maintains Safari to have no holes in their ecosystem.

Stop being silly defending trillion dollar companies that are actively making the internet worse, it’s not productive or funny.


And poor little under capitalized Microsoft and Apple couldn’t compete?


That doesn't negate my original point.
