This iteration loop is absolutely magic 🪄
Combine Gemini CLI + Flutter Hot Reload for self-perfecting UX: 1️⃣ Agent codes & hot reloads 2️⃣ Agent snaps a screenshot 📸 3️⃣ Gemini critiques the actual rendered pixels 4️⃣ Critique loops directly back into new code
In the demo video: Gemini correctly sees that the hint text in the text input fields is too light to see. Gemini CLI then fixes the colors, and Flutter hot reloads. Another screenshot is taken, and Gemini correctly sees that the hint text colors are now correct!
The agent is not just writing code; it’s seeing and refining it live. 🚀 #FlutterDev #GeminiAI

A special @Gemini_Notebook moment - we made the @a16z Top 10 GenAI Web Products by Monthly visits!
huge thank you to all our users!
The seventh edition of our Top 100 Consumer AI Apps is here.
New this time: a revenue leaderboard, alongside the usual web and mobile traffic rankings.
Three years ago we published the first edition. ChatGPT was #1, Claude was unranked, and the entire category was chatbots, image generators, and not much else.
In today's edition:
- ChatGPT still holds the throne, now with 1B+ monthly actives on mobile
- Claude has climbed to #3 on web with nearly 1B monthly visits
- The category has expanded to vibe coding (Lovable, Cursor, Replit), music (Suno), design (Figma), voice (ElevenLabs), video (Higgsfield, Kling), agents (Manus), and even hardware (Plaud)
Full breakdown from @omooretweets: a16z.news/p/top-100-consumer…

If you haven't had a chance yet to check out the new Expert Intelligence feature in @Gemini_Notebook, here is your chance.
Use code "EXPERTINTELLIGENCE" to get a free download of my book "Thinking in Bets" to add to your Gemini LLM Notebook Knowledge Library.
Every Expert Intelligence notebook we feature includes a note from the author and extra sources curated by them. Here's @AnnieDuke explaining how exploring her fascinating book Thinking In Bets in @Gemini_Notebook can help you make smarter decisions. notebook.google.com/notebook…
If you're a nerd like me and you like to bling out your board games (and protect your pieces), check these out! The 3D printed Twilight Imperium 4 strategy card frames are ready for your next game.
Workflow: used Claude and OpenSCAD, provided basic measurements, and focused my attention on the feel of the frames and the snap mechanism (I wanted a tight interlocking tooth click).
Enjoy!

been prototyping something for work, and I think I just cracked open a promising path. Excited to see what folks think.
3D print Tokens for Twilight Imperium 4 fighters and infantry ready!

"Expert intelligence" - new feature of Gemini that allows buyers of an ebook to apply the knowledge in the book to their own projects. In this case, the advice in my writing style manual, The Sense of Style, is applied to a draft of the user's writing. I checked it out and it's really good -- the advice is very close to what I would have said.
The power of Expert Intelligence in @Gemini_Notebook:
Add The Sense of Style by @sapinker to a notebook with a draft you're writing. Ask for feedback based on Pinker's ideas.
It's the opposite of AI slop: personalized advice based on human expertise, facilitated by AI.
And what I love about this is that I'm getting actionable suggestions here AND Notebook is serving as a guide to Pinker's underlying philosophy of writing. So I'm learning deeper principles as I improve my draft. And of course everything in the Notebook response points directly back to specific passages in Pinker (and my own draft) with citations.
We have a Featured Notebook curated by Steven Pinker available here, but if you purchase the book, you can add it to any notebook you want. (And read it in its entirely in Notebook or the Google Play Books reader.)

Expert Intelligence: a new way for you to engage with books. Buy the e-book from Google, and you can use Google Notebook to apply the expertise and advice in the book to the project you're working on. The Sense of Style is one of 7 books they're featuring during their launch, and the app will apply my writing advice to your drafts as you write them. @google blog.google/innovation-and-a…
OK yall , how's the new @Gemini_Notebook working for you? We've recently upgraded the engine under the covers (antigravity harness, VM, files, python, etc) so now you can do a lot more. Feedback welcome!
Today's project: using Claude to create 3D printed frames for my Twilight Imperium 4 strategy cards. Claude kindly created an interactive HTML viewer with 3D rendering of the STL files and helpful instructions.

🎉 So excited that Thinking In Bets is one of the first books to launch with Expert Intelligence as a trusted source.

Some people think Gemini Notebook is only for studying, but I find it a super powerful tool to get insights from documents (papers, meeting notes, etc) and brainstorm how I can best convey my points. Notebook recently had tons of updates, so here’s what’s new that I'm loving: 🧵
How can we make Research absolutely delightful for you in @Gemini_Notebook ?

— You can now access your notebooks in AI Mode in Google Search
— We've improved the way mathematical equations copy paste/render in Chat

Big things to come in the next few weeks, but as always, let us know what's on your dream feature list!
