Google’s AI is catching up to ChatGPT fast

Gemini is making moves. And most people are sleeping on it.

I used Gemini AI Studio to mock up a front-end for a product. From a photo reference to an actual interface. In minutes.

This is Gemini’s Nexus. Here's what it does:

• Finds people I should partner or collaborate with

• Maps them out visually like a web

• Tracks how my network expands over time

It’s basically a recruiting and dealflow machine. Imagine what you could do if you put a few focused hours a week into this.

Here’s the bigger picture:

• Gemini is back.
  It’s smoother than before, and Google’s pouring serious resources into it. If this pace keeps up, Gemini could become the AI platform.

• ChatGPT isn’t the only player anymore.
  For a while, it looked untouchable. But Google’s not playing defense—they’re building fast.

• AI creation is now a side quest anyone can do.
  If you’ve got a problem to solve or a cool idea to build, you don’t need to wait. The tools are ready now.
