Gemini is one of my favorite apps, but there’s definitely room for improvement. I want to see changes, but I’m not talking about anything super substantial here. Sure, we all want tools like Gemini to be faster, more engaging, and 100% factual, but that’s not the point of this post. I want to highlight a few smaller changes that I personally want to see that would drastically elevate the experience with Google’s AI chatbot.

Which of these quality-of-life updates would you most like to see in Gemini? 4 votes More natural conversations (less fluff). 50 % More in-app help and feature explanations. 0 % A visual redesign and UI improvements. 50 % Better chat organization (folders, dates, etc.) 0 % Other (let me know in the comments). 0 %

Don’t be weird, Gemini

I have several Gems set up for specific purposes, with each one helping me on my journey, whether it’s related to fitness, investing, or anything else. I find great value in the conversations I have with them; however, things can get a bit weird at times for two reasons that need fixing.

The first one is fluff, which Gems are full of for some reason. Instead of providing me with a detailed answer like Gemini usually does, when using Gems, the AI often prefaces its answers with weird observations. For example, if I ask a question, I might get a response like, “It’s 5 PM in your city, a great time to dive into the topic of fitness and diet,” or, “What a great topic to discuss in your city at 7 PM this evening, as the sun is winding down.”

I’m not sure what the benefit of these strange statements is supposed to be, but they add nothing to my conversations. I wouldn’t mind as much if it happened just here and there, but it’s usually every other question in certain conversations, and in some cases, every single one. It’s annoying to say the least.
