I’ve been a loyal ChatGPT user for three years. We were inseparable. But lately, I’ve realized I was staying for the memories, not the performance.

Google finally stopped playing around and dropped a suite of tools that actually talk to each other. I’ve moved my entire workflow over to the Gemini ecosystem—specifically using Google AI Studio, Stitch, and the brilliantly (if not weirdly) named Nano Banana.

Here’s why the “breakup” was inevitable:

1. The Integration is Actually Real.

You have to go visit it, get your answer, and carry it back to your world. With the Google setup, the bridges are already built.

2. As a UX person, Stitch is a game-changer. Being able to take a rough sketch or a prompt and have Stitch spit out a responsive UI that I can immediately refine in Figma and later in AI Studio as a prototype (yes, I know Make can do this but AI Studio is better, in my experience so far) has cut my dev time in half. It’s not just “chatting” anymore; it’s building. It waves goodbye to hermits.

3. Nano Banana be-bo-vanana… The image consistency here is wild. I used it to create the image for this post, and the level of control you get—especially with the Pro version—makes DALL-E feel a bit like a toy (a toy a hermit would play with). And it took about 3 min.

The future isn’t just a smarter chatbot; it’s a connected pipeline. I’m not looking back.

Well, what do you think? Have you used both or one or the other? Where do you think this is going to take us?
