It's already what AI chats look like. There are a million AI chat apps on the Play Store and Appstore, and they all try to monetize in some obnoxious way.
why is it so hard to use Google's APIs @OfficialLoganK ?
steps:
1⃣ "Get API key" in the docs page → redirects to a different page
2⃣ "Create API key" → asks me to select a project
3⃣ "Select a project" → asks me to create a project
4⃣ Project created → asks me to name the key
5⃣ Name the key → asks me to connect billing account
6⃣ Click on "free tier" → redirects to a different page
7⃣ "Link billing account" → prompts me to fill the form to increase the quota
I saw 4 pages, 7(!) modals and I still can't use the API key.
Then somewhere along the way I also see a prompt to use VertexAI which quadruples the confusion. it's just stupid.

I am sorry for the pain on this, we are doing a bunch to address this:
1. We are moving the docs into AI Studio, so you won't need to jump from the docs into AI Studio, it will all be integrated, ETA is Q1 to be fully complete with this.
2. Right now, we auto create projects and keys for new users so they don't need to click anything, it just works. I think the edge case is that it only happens during the account creation flow right now. I pinged the team to make sure we add this for existing users so they will be able to just have a project and key created by default, ETA 2nd week of Jan.
3. Will be fixed by the above, we will also auto select a project going forward, ETA 1st week of Jan.
4. We will auto populate a name for you when you create a new key, ETA 2nd week of Jan.
5 & 6. We are bringing the billing setup process directly into AI Studio, this will make it so we don't have to redirect to the cloud console for you to setup a billing account, ETA for initial rollout is Jan 20th.
7. I will debug this part further, agreed it is super confusing. The issue here is that we limit the number of projects you can add to a single billing account (since this is one of the ways that people commit mass scale abuse / fraud on our platform), let me poke around to see what we can do to make this more simple.
Thank you for the feedback and sorry for the hassle on this. Always more to do!
The current latest Minio release that is working for us for local development is now almost a year old and soon enough we will have to upgrade. Curious what others have replaced it with that is as easy to set up and has a management UI.
I think that's part of the pitch here... swapping out Minio for Garage. Both scale a lot more than for just local development, but local dev certainly seems like a good use-case here.
Graphite isn’t really about code review IMO, it’s actually incredibly useful even if you just use the GitHub PR UI for the actual review. Graphite, its original product anyway, is about managing stacks of dependent pull requests in a sane way.
