If there are any Google employees reading:

I want to go all in the Gemini ecosystem but several things keep me going back to OpenAI:

* the Gemini app is glitchy on iPhone (my chats frequently fail or are lost if I background the app)

* the Work equivalent (I guess task?) is not as powerful. I often have ChatGPT Work to arbitrary computation and even install ML on the short-lived VM.

* there is no simple integration between antigravity and the Gemini app. I want a way to continue working away from my server while using the familiar app. No I don’t want VNC.

* ChatGPT sites are cool for putting up proof of concepts with zero effort

Does the antigravity iOS app give you the remote coding features you're looking for?

Is there an antigravity iOS app? I just searched on the App Store and couldn’t find one

Sorry, no there isn’t - I thought there was but it’s just a pwa for https://antigravity.google.com/

I've only briefly tried it, but can (at least on Linux), run `agy remote-control start` and then access the device through antigravity.goole.com

* Getting banned from Gemini could mean nuking your gmail account. Can't afford that risk even at low levels.

I believe this has been rectified and now if you get caught breaking Gemini ToS, it just bans you from Gemini (I think you might even get a cool-down warning ban first).

For more egregious violations like the kid uploading naked pictures of himself, I don't know.

You can use antigravity remotely in browser with a shared link.

FYI, you can use Antigravity as a web app with "remote control" mode. It works pretty well, better than VNC since the page is responsive, though the text is pretty small and the UX if not really differen than the computer version.

I've found agy remote control doesn't work anywhere as nicely as claude code. I tried using agy on my PC, enabled remote control, then opened on my Android browser. If I type anything, there is no way for me to delete (backspace) if I make any typos other than refreshing the page. It basically made the experience unusable for me. I don't understand how something so basic as the backspace button can be broken. Every time I try a Google AI product something very basic is broken. PDF uploads on the Gemini app also don't work nearly as well as with ChatGPT or Claude. These are all things I'm sure Gemini Carbon can find and fix in 1 day. I don't understand how they ignore basic UX to such an extreme.
