Think Different: Gemini Subscription Rant
Dear product manager, Gemini in Firebase is far from a good and useful product compared to the competition. The usability really sucks yet, however you're already trying to sell a subscription of it.
Firebase sounds awesome and I'm making some trials. But make a decision:
Or you try to sell Firebase making it really easy to test and conclude projects using AI with trully integrated Gemini with great workflow usability to built Apps and write code or you try to sell general Gemini subscription here. Other AIs are bringing better results to develop Firebase solutions.
I'm not buying an early stage Gemini to be able to try Firebase. First make a killing free Gemini with a Firebase workflow integration and amazing support for non-developers and specialised for coding.
Firebase solution is now unique in the market. If I can make my Apps with a killer AI in Firebase, shut up and take my money for the whole FB ecosystem with a killer integrated Gemini.
But if you're selling a half baked Gemini integration with FB and a "not yet ready GPT level" for general purposes, I'm simply not changing AI tool subscription and probably it'll take longer to ship my Apps in Firebase.
Other AIs are helping me more to learn Firebase than Gemini (and they have a Projects session and I can comeback from previous session to continue other day and I have both a killer code making AI and general purpose fast loading teaching AI.
You'll kill both products trying to sell the one lagging against competition meanwhile you have another one that is unique in the market and that can hook someone now for life due to the steep learning curve. Cheers and kudos for Firebase and the pay as you go billing plan strategy. The product ecosystem is great and it's only missing an integrated AI.
