Google VP of Gemini app Josh Woodward solicited user feedback on X, receiving over 1400 replies in the first 12 hours and 300 more overnight. He then identified the top 10 complaints. The most crucial feedback was that Google Workspace integrations should work reliably; Woodward agreed, noting improvements were recently added to Gemini Spark but more work is needed. The second complaint was tool calling, which Google 'strongly' agrees with, promising noticeable gains in future model upgrades. Third was better project and folder management for chats; Google sees Notebooks as a beginning but will rethink the experience. Other requests confirmed as work in progress include MCPs and custom skills, message editing, sharper voice dictation, and fixes to mobile scrolling bugs. Google has already rolled out early MCP support in Gemini Spark with third-party connections like Dropbox, Canva, Instacart, OpenTable, and Zillow. Regarding watermarks removed from Nano Banana images, Woodward said Google would weigh against AI rules that differ by country. Google firmly rejected requests related to the celebrity likeness guardrail, stating they will follow the same principle on which the model is running.
