: “Make Firebase the best home for AI + Media: Vector Search, AI Studio (Genkit), India‑first Auth, and Media Extensions”
We’re building LegacyVerse Studio—a global, culture‑rooted AI platform (clones, memories, voice, and music). To keep Firebase at the heart of our stack, we need:
Managed Vector Search for Firestore (embeddings + whereNear()),
Firebase + Genkit “AI Studio” in Console (flows, tools, evals, deploy, cost dashboard),
Official AI Media Extensions: Gemini TTS/STT, audio transcode to HLS/MP3, normalization, subtitles,
India‑first Phone Auth improvements (DLT, fallback providers, better deliverability & pricing clarity),
Edge Functions on Hosting with streaming (SSE) for low‑latency AI,
Firestore TTL + simple archival tier for cost control,
Built‑in multi‑tenant RBAC patterns for orgs/workspaces,
Native full‑text search (Indic aware) with realtime updates,
Project‑level budget & quota controls (caps, per‑user limits, AI usage analytics),
Regions & data sovereignty parity in India (Auth/Functions/Extensions).
These make Firebase the definitive platform for AI + media + multilingual apps, especially in India.
We’re happy to share real workloads and test these features in beta. 🙏
