I was so disappointed with this. I am on their PRO plan and this desktop app looks so basic and useless. Like it's a chat box hooked to a server where the intelligence is - Not even comparable to Claude Desktop.
I'm also very disappointed in Gemini Live mode - so compressed responsed. You can't discuss with this, it feels like it doesn't want to discuss with you and doesn't do any useful research.
The only good AI product of Google that I know is Veo 3.1
Google lens whatever is on my screen without pointing my phone on it like a boomer thats cool fr
