Hey <@&1194667658239545476> we’re extremely pumped to share our collaboration with creative coding educator Dan “TheCodingTrain” Shiffman (@bold nexus ) ! 🚂 🤍 We partnered with Dan to create ShiffBot, a Gemini-powered chatbot that brings his teaching corpus to p5.js learners. With ShiffBot you can work through bugs, ask questions, and dig into p5 resources.

We’re incredibly excited for this collaboration because (1) it’s Dan Shiffman !!! and (2) this is such a neat & friendly way to interface with the Gemini API. You can learn more about it at shiffbot.withgoogle.com. We’d love to hear your thoughts, whether ShiffBot or Gemini related. Check out our Lab Session about it :•)

Hi <@&1194668892640006235> and any folks interested,

We created a #uxr┇📗 (user experience research) channel in 🥬 GROCERY ! We'll let our Labs product manager Kristin ( @restive canopy ) and UX researcher Sofia ( @median ravine ) take it from here. This channel will be a freeform space for discussion about AI Test Kitchen tools. As a starter, we're [imagining the future of MusicFX](#music-🍭 message) in #music-🍭.

To follow #uxr┇📗, go to Channels & Roles at the top of your sidebar --> select Browse Channels and there you'll find it. If you'd like to be notified for future UX research opportunities, check out the Customization Questions in Channels & Roles.

🎬 Want to test the Google <@&1374455577375412234> App? plus, new #flow-app・📱 channel

Hey Flow users! We're excited to invite our Discord community to be among the first to test the Google Flow App on Android. We love building with you in the loop; your feedback helps us know what's working and what isn't.

If you’re excited to tag along, give feedback, flag bugs and feature requests - we’d be excited to have you onboard as we build a mobile-first experience to Google's AI creative studio.

How to get the app:

• 📱Android: Click here to join from your phone, or click here to join from web
  You'll need Android OS 7.0+. For the best device experience use a Pixel 6 or higher.
• 🍎 iOS: Coming soon via TestFlight!

💡 A few things to know

• The app is optimized for on-the-go creation, so it's not 1:1 with desktop (yet!)
• We’re starting with standard image and video creation flows, with more to come. Additional image aspect ratio outputs will be supported soon!
• This first wave is capped at 1k users, but don’t worry we’ll expand gradually.
• Extend, Collection creation, favoriting and audio selection is not currently supported on the app.

We want your feedback! 💭

• Tap ‘Send app feedback’ on your account page to report a bug or feature you’d like to see 💬

📢 Quick Update: Clearing up G1 Plan Quotas vs. Google Flow Credits

Hey <@&1374455577375412234>: We’ve seen a lot of questions regarding the recent email from G1 about the new usage quota system.

We want to clear the air right away: Google Flow is NOT moving to the quota reset system.

Your creation pipeline in Google Flow remains completely independent of that change. We are sticking with the same monthly credit model you are already used to. The only real updates landing in your Google Flow experience are a few branding adjustments:

• 🪙 Google Flow Credits: This is simply the new name for your monthly subscription allowance. These credits are exclusive to Google Flow, and they do not reset every 5 hours. Your monthly balance is yours to use exactly how you always have.
• ⚡ AI Credits: If you ever run out of your monthly Google Flow Credits mid-cycle, AI Pro and AI Ultra users can purchase these universal on-demand top-ups. Bonus: AI Credits are usable across all supported Google products!

--The Google Flow Team
