I used Gemini to draft my debut feature’s script, brainstorm VFX concepts, and polish dialogue. The AI accelerated the writing process and sparked creative ideas, making the whole workflow smoother. While it wasn’t perfect, it delivered solid material that helped me get the film ready for submission to the American Black Film Festival.

I keep hitting the same glitch every day on my pro account and it’s driving me nuts. I’m not sure what’s causing it, but it’s a constant roadblock that stops me from getting anything done. I just want a fix because this recurring issue is seriously frustrating.
I cancelled my Ultra plan because Gemini 3 Pro can’t even handle simple tasks that GPT‑4o does. Every time I try to use Flow it throws errors, rejects prompts for irrelevant reasons, and is constantly “busy.” When I request an image it spits out Midjourney instructions instead of creating anything. I’m left fighting the model just to get basic results—constant apologies about over‑corrections and punctuation mistakes make the experience exhausting and disappointing.
I’ve been using Google AI Studio and, while it’s a big step up from gemini.google.com, it still feels sluggish during long chats. To cope, I asked Gemini to write a userscript that streamlines the interface. I’m not sure how much it helps, but it does seem to give a noticeable boost in responsiveness.
I tried using Gemini Pro’s text generation, but it got rate‑limited to the point of being unusable. The constant limits made the tool feel broken and pointless, especially when other gimmicky AIs seemed to work fine. I’m left angry and disappointed, feeling like Google just can’t handle real demand.
I spent a few hours prompting Gemini to build a geometry tool despite having almost no coding background. The result was surprisingly solid – the animations are smooth and the blur effect looks polished. I was thrilled to see it come together, though the AI‑agent part still doesn’t work, so I’d need to add my own Google AI Studio API keys to finish it.
I used Gemini 3 Pro for planning, SOPs, and cross‑team coordination and kept hitting a wall — the AI would quietly assign tasks without clear owners, leading to missed follow‑ups, extra meetings, and confusion over responsibility. It felt frustrating, like the tool didn’t understand who should actually do what, so I forced a “Responsibility Boundary Check” prompt to make ownership explicit and stop the gaps.
I tried to use Gemini for my econ homework, uploading lecture PDFs first and then images of exercises. After the PDFs were added, Gemini stopped recognizing any images I sent, saying it couldn’t “see” them. I can still attach the pics, but the model won’t process them, which is pretty frustrating. I’m looking for a fix or anyone who’s seen this before.
