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.
Google Wave was launched, marketed, and killed in 2 years
Is this supposed to be evidence that Gemini is mature?
I mean I get your point.
But still, shouldn’t we hold the big companies accountable?
I don’t want to lower my expectations just because I need to understand that the company in charge is huge.
Sure, we should demand good stuff from companies.
That's different than your original claim of not being able to understand why it's this way (and another commenter calling it ironic). Totally expected IMO.
It's very hard to do cross-cutting things in big companies. It just is!
