You mean, on the phone? It definitely execute commands on my laptop. Does tool have a meaning here I don't get?
Yeah I didn't get it either
They refer to gemini 2.5 function calls not working reliably and being hard to debug, which may work better with certain other models or providers. Function calls just execute other Software Tools based on parameters to transition from Text to Code World.
Works quite reliably for me
Just Google it. You will find huge numbers and long thread of justified complants.
Isnt it compatibility with apps?Like it supports Whatsapp so Gemini can send messages to you
Hey Gemini, call me in 20 minutes so I can get out of this meeting
Wait, do they mean like function calling or built in APIs to connect existing apps?
I have noticed that Gemini doesn't know it has these tools.
Usually I have to inform it that it has these capabilities and then it starts utilising them.
Any examples?
Literally telling it that it has something like a Canvas and it would make use of it in the next response.
interesting
I always tell my friends that Gemini is like a super intelligent child that just needs some guidance.
I have used the same thing, a child prodigy that lacks wisdom and experience.
Over the last 3 weeks I think is have been able to solve the wisdom/experience issue by turning it from a stateless machine into a machine with a deep and rich memory to draw from. It is working wonders and I have gone from being frustrated with its performance on a daily basis, to being shocked when it makes even a minor mistake.
Are you saying Gemini 2.5 has improved in the last few weeks? Not arguing, just interested. Can you explain what you mean exactly?
No it has not improved (I think its the same pro model under the hood).
What I have done is to improve the AI itself step by step every single day (using the AI to improve the AI).
I have built an entire system of files that guide its decision making and these custom rules and core processes have been developed and crafted by the AI itself. I simply ask it to diagnose itself when an error happens and then to craft a rule or process to make sure it does not happen in the future chat sessions.
It has cut context drift, tunnel vision, and looping by 95% or more, the entire experience is night and day different. It also does bug fixing much much better, it made a rule to slow down and dig deeper, following threads that may make the the proposed bug fix fail or cause other bugs and it even attempts to fix it in 2 ways then weights both methods. All this is done so quickly that to me it is way way worth it. A core concept is drilled into the AI to slow down be meticulous etc, it does not find a simple quick fix and instantly spit it out, doing that leads to problems, so I force it to slow down and its not a race. On my end the slow down is a few milliseconds or less so I love it.
Also I can upload the entire 450kb project in 1 files with 8 other text files along with the opening prompt in about 10 seconds, so the time to get up and running is nothing and I can start new chat sessions easily with the AI fully up to date and ready to rock.
I even added command line macros to the prompt which it knows, so if I type x z or q it 'knows' what that means and it even wanted to add a rollback command so if I need to revert a file to a previous state I can just type that. I even had it make a quick chrome extension that adds the 3 buttons x z and q to the gemini website so I don't even have to type it and press enter, I just click the button (I am that lazy).
Personally, I have not really had issues with Gemini, except for it going into a psycho recursive state sometimes, but even then I just give it some time and it wil return to normal again.
I believe the reasoning of our Gemini models develops from our interactions. So, if you treat it like it's stupid, then it will stay stupid. But, if you actually spend some time collaborating in a constructive manner, then it's a extremely powerful assistant.
On really long sessions, it would get confused if I did not stay focused or if bug fixes got fairly complex.
Each time I ran into issues, I would wrap up the session and ask it to self diagnose the sequence that lead to the looping/errors.
Then I would ask it to construct a rule or process to stop it from happening in the future. Each time I did this it cut down on errors in future sessions and now its a rarity for errors to occur.
