willingness and capability to obsess over data is so important but so hard to interview for - maybe one of the most important thing to backchannel on?
not just looking at aggregated, topline metrics -- this is digging through traces and understanding what the metrics may miss
Join @GoogleDeepMind Principal Engineer @__apf__ to walk through how Gemini Spark helps simplify your daily workflows.
Powered by Gemini 3.5 Flash, Spark builds upon Gemini's ability to connect with @GoogleWorkspace apps like Docs and Gmail to execute complex tasks.
@mweinbach Cool!! Glad you like it - as you spend more time with Spark please let me know if you have feedback or requests!
Sorry to hear about your washing machine but glad Spark could help 😁
Gemini Spark is your personal AI agent in the @GeminiApp that gets things done on your behalf, under your direction. It runs 24/7 (and yes - you can close your laptop). It’s powered by Gemini 3.5 and built on the Google Antigravity harness so it can complete long horizon tasks.
Spark will integrate seamlessly with tools, starting with ours, and soon with 3P tools with MCP. You’ll also be able to work with it through email + chat. Available to trusted testers this week and next week in Beta to AI Ultra users in the US.
It’s so exciting to unveil what the team has been working hard on! We can’t wait to show you the power of having a 24/7 agent in your pocket and on your computer — can’t wait to see what you use Spark for!
Introducing Gemini Spark ✨
It’s your 24/7 personal AI agent that helps you navigate your digital life, taking action on your behalf, and under your direction.
🧠 It runs on Gemini 3.5 and is built on @Antigravity, so it can perform long-running tasks easily in the background.
⏱️ And because it runs on dedicated virtual machines on Google Cloud, you don’t even need to keep your laptop open.
🧰 Spark will integrate seamlessly with Google tools, and soon with third parties through MCP.

Introducing Gemini on Mac.
It’s the first time we’re bringing the @Geminiapp to desktop. The team built this initial release with @Antigravity, and it went from an idea to a native Swift app prototype in a few days.
More features on the way!
Introducing Chroma Context-1, a 20B parameter search agent.

We’re opening up early access for the future of @replohq
- agent that has access to all your tools
- integrates data from everywhere to help you sell better
- still builds landing pages and does it faster, better, and easier than ever before
Taking a @Waymo is one of the most delightful new product experiences of the past few years, and they're now ramping to considerable scale (500,000 rides/week). I was excited to host co-CEO @dmitri_dolgov on Cheeky Pint. He’s been working on self-driving since the very beginning, and I got to ask all my questions about how Waymo works underneath the hood.

So bullish on Cursor:
- quick and stealthy team
- leaning cloud agent first which is super smart
- reinventing the part of the product that caught the most flack to meet new UI demands(with this new version of their IDE UI)
- isn’t just a model or an IDE company
- model agnostic
Using Cursor again today for the first time in a while. Still using Claude Code, Codex, Conductor, of course.
First: someone needs to rename because the C-named companies are out of control.
Second: fast is good. Composer 2 is good because it's fast. That's all you need to know to at least give it a try.
Third: I am grateful that I can switch between all of these tools in an instant. Little-to-no lock in. I pick the thing that gives me the most intelligence-per-second-per-dollar and am happy.
@jeremyausmus with AI it will only get easier to create whatever you want, at that point judgement on what is worth creating and getting it in front of the people who need it will be your edge. get reps of actually trying to understand what the market needs, building it, and selling it
