I don’t understand why Gemini is not better integrated into Google Docs.
I can’t transfer results into docs, it can’t manipulate existing docs.
I can’t even rule out that I’m doing something wrong somehow.
But it’s just frustrating to see that the teams inside of Google don’t work well together.
Gemini isn’t even an expert in Google’s own products. Ask about a feature from within one of their own products and it’s as dumb as any other LLM.
Why wouldn’t you ground it in knowledge and your product?
first they would need to create docs that aren't useless and completely disorganized to train on. the best way to figure out how to actually use more than the most basic examples of most the gcp sdks is by looking at the source code.
either a hello world example or an autogenerated class list with no explanations /rant
I mean Gemini is basically brand new... They're clearly working towards deeper integration.
Brand New? It's over two years old now. For a company that brags about its cloud infrastructure and developer tooling, I find it incredibly ironic that Gemini has worse integration with Google docs than ChatGPT and Claude.
Yes, for a company the size of Google, a two year old product is effectively brand new.
It is not ironic whatsoever that much smaller startups in much more precarious positions relative to the incumbent move very quickly to integrate with the incumbent.

The Gemini branding is over a year old, and google has been working on this for ages. They need to vibe code faster!
