The mouse and keyboard are definitely dying (very slowly) for everyday computing use.
And this kind of seems like an assistant for those.
ChatGPT voice and real-time video is really a beautiful computing experience. Same with Meta Ray Bans AI (if it could level up the real-time).
I'd like just a bulleted list of chats that I can ask it to do stuff and come back to vs watching it click things. E.g.: Setup my Whole Foods cart for the week again please.

Not to be that guy, but where's the evidence for this? People have been telling us that voice interaction is the future for many, many years, and we're in the future now and it's not. When I look around -- comparing today to ten years ago -- I see more people typing and tapping, not fewer, and voice interactions are still relatively rare. Is it all happening in private? Are there any public metrics for this?
Yes. Imagine Google banning your entire Google account / Gmail because you violated their gray area AI terms ([1] or [2]). Or, one of your users did via an app you made using an API key and their models.
With that being said, I am extremely bullish on Google AI for a long time. I imagine they land at being the best and cheapest for the foreseeable future.
For me that is a reason for not touching anything from Google for building stuff. I can afford lossing my Amazon account, but Google's one would be too much. At least they should be clear in their terms that getting banned at cloud doesn't mean getting banned from Gmail/Docs/Photos...
That won't help. Their TOS and policies are vague enough that they can terminate all accounts you own (under "Use of multiple accounts for abuse" for instance).
I used to be "thepimp@hotmail.com" in the early days of Hotmail, of course I was also a 6th grader (true story). One day they unceremoniously closed my account without any possibility to recover mails.
That day I learned an important lesson: pimpin' ain't easy.
My buddy lost his Gmail account because of a heart attack followed by a string of events that google ‘AI’ considered too risky to allow the account to live.
If their fraud AI is wrong there is now human to talk to.
Even if it is warranted on their part, the 1% false positive will be detrimental to those affected. And we all know there is no way to reach out to them in case the account is automatically flagged.
I asked Gemini about banning risks, and it answered:
Gemini: Yes, there is a potential risk of your Google account being suspended if your SaaS is used to process inappropriate content, even if you use Gemini to reject the request. While Gemini can help you filter and identify harmful content, it's not a foolproof solution.
Here are some additional measures you can take to protect your account:
* Content moderation: Implement a robust content moderation system to filter out inappropriate content before it reaches Gemini. This can include keyword-based filtering, machine learning models, and human review.
...
* Regularly review usage: Monitor your usage of Gemini to identify any suspicious activity.
* Follow Google's terms of service: Make sure that your use of Gemini complies with Google's terms of service.
By taking these steps, you can minimize the risk of your account being suspended and ensure that your SaaS is used responsibly.

In a follow up question I asked about how to implement robust content moderation and it suggested humans reviewing each message...
So a convenient blah blah blah about all the nice things you can doto avoid Google's brainless algorithmic wrath, but which may simply not work anyhow because even by following all rules in good faith, you still get banned one day, as has happened to many, many people with zero recourse.
As an attacker, instead of DDoSing a service we could just upload a bunch of NSFW text so Google kills their infra for us.
Other providers, like OpenAI, at least provide a free moderation API. Google has a moderation API, that after the free 50k requests it is more expensive than Gemini 1.5 flash (Moderation API costs $0.0005/100 characters vs Gemini 1.5 flash $0.000001875/100 characters).
Try it. It mostly works but I think the way they manage memory is different or something complicated. We're essentially just constantly hammering an iframe for the preview. In early tests, I kept getting issues with it. I want to revisit in time and optimize that whole thing.
I killed it off right before launch actually. I got spooked by potential spam. I think you're right this is the move after I get through some launch stuff.
Super true. I know... I bought this domain a long time ago for another project that never launched and swore to use it one day. It's a short .io that is easy to remember. I agree it does not match well
Cool product! This particular bit may benefit from some more emphasis on the site. It was the first question I had too. Having this freedom to export makes me even more inclined to use the product so thanks for adding it in.
