I've entertained an idea to build a set of tools for contemporary development (version control, code review, CI, etc) which would only speak Gemini. That would be both the UI and the API.
Blockers came fast:
* no way to upload anything that exceeds 1024 bytes,
* escaping is subtly broken and so it would be impossible to review code written in Python or Markdown (triple quotes)
* No text editing capabilities, pretty much.
Which is fine: Gemini is great because it's restricted. It's nearly impossible to abuse. It will find its users, even if it would not be me.
