Interesting. I wonder if this will evolve into something closer to Codex or Claude Code, where it can actually work across files and tasks on your computer, not just act as a desktop chatbot.

Google apps don't evolve, they fragment and then die. I'd give this one a year or two at most.

They already have antigravity for that, I can see these two getting merged sometime in the future.

There will be a new replacement app to combine them, but it will only handle around 60% of the functionality of both.

All three will receive no further updates.

They'll launch it as Google Gravity, because the anti- was always a negative that Marketing didn't like using, and alliteration tickles your brain better.

Also, that it tries to be the answer to the "everything app" and suck up resources and positions like a blackhole, as bright shining SVPs eventually implode into their golden parachutes.
