Despite the Gemini team training an excellent frontier model, I can't help but feel that Google is lacking direction on the AI product side. Why can't I give Gemini agentic access to my Gmail? Why can't it read my Google Docs to get the context it needs? Why can't I ask it to do data analysis in a Google Sheet? I should be able to ask Gemini to plan my vacation for me and it should be able to buy a flight on Google Flights (credit card info saved in Google Wallet), look up directions on Google Maps, cross-reference with my travel history via Gmail, and populate a Google Sheet with an itinerary. Unfortunately, Google has completely dropped the ball on giving Gemini the tools and context it needs to actually be useful. Instead, we get lazy, disconnected AI features like "help me write" or "chat with AI" in every single product. I truly feel that Google could do something special as the only AI company that natively has full context on the user's life. But for now it seems they lack the top-down product vision to make something great here.
