Gemini 3.5 Flash is not just a smaller, cheaper model. It is strategically designed to power the long-running, agentic tasks—like coding and complex workflows—that are becoming the primary use case for AI. This positions it as the go-to engine for the next wave of AI products.
Most customers don't know they need an "agentic product." The key to adoption is not marketing the agent itself but solving a user's problem within existing workflows they already understand, such as text messaging or email. This avoids the high friction of teaching users a completely new paradigm.
Gemini Omni's multimodal capabilities are not just a technical feat; they are a fundamental accelerator for content creators. By simplifying complex tasks like video editing and ad creation, Omni will lower the barrier to entry, enabling individuals to produce high-quality content that previously required a full team and budget.
Contrary to the narrative that AI tools will flood the internet with low-quality "slop," powerful multimodal models like Omni could have the opposite effect. By providing sophisticated VFX-level capabilities to the masses, they enable creators to tell stories with a higher degree of taste and production value than previously possible.
Google is bifurcating its developer tools. AI Studio targets "vibe coding," enabling non-technical users to build apps from prompts without seeing code. In contrast, Anti-gravity is for "agentic engineering," designed for professional developers working on complex, production-quality codebases like Google's own.
AI is creating a "software creator" economy analogous to YouTube's video creator boom. By drastically reducing development costs, AI tools make it economically viable for solo founders and small teams to build businesses serving smaller, niche markets that were previously unprofitable to address with traditional software teams.
