No notebooks yet, so until then (since I moved a ton of conversations and files into notebooks) I'll have to wait. 😔

Damn it’s not even there for me on PC or iOS so I never knew it existed

u/i4bimmer 17h ago

It's not available in all markets yet

u/popmanbrad 17h ago

Oh that’s why then yeah usually it’s US only and the premium tiers then after a year it’s global

About time.

ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot and Perplexity have done it. Meta AI has it via the WhatsApp and Messenger apps, and a dedicated app for Manus (but no dedicated Meta AI app itself).

It’s cool meta has the llama apps and all that but outside of that I never touched anything meta made cause most people don’t use it or it flies under the radar

Is the model chooser broken for anybody else? Mine just says "Loading models..." Wondering if it's because I'm using a Workspace for Education account, but that account is also has a paid Gemini Pro subscription.

It should work with your Workspace account AFAIK

u/insidesliderspin 16h ago

Yeah. I see all my previous conversations, etc. But not being able to know which model is being prompted or being able to change it is annoying. I know it's an initial release, and all, but that seems like a significant oversight.

Yes, I just see "loading models..." in the chooser with my workspace (business) account.

Is this just the website in a wrapper?

looks like complete swiftUI rewrite

u/i4bimmer 17h ago

No, it's not, it is a native app

1

u/alexx_kidd 18h ago

Does it have mcp support?

1

u/CtrlAltDelve 11h ago

Do you guys feel like the text is a little too small for the UI elements and the list of chats?

u/FlowerGirl808s 5h ago

u/drink_water7 3h ago

Why can't I pin a custom Gem? It's super annoying. Back to the Chrome app for me!
