Huge respect for you Josh, another thing to watch out for is to not ship the org chart. I feel like the AI product suite can just be consolidated to:
1. Gemini desktop + mobile app
This is the AI app for everyone. I don't actually think the Spark brand is needed - it's just Gemini that can now do things in Google Workspace and other apps. Why would people not want this? NotebookLM can just be the research product or feature embedded in this app?
2. Antigravity
Coding harness. Maybe consolidate this with AI Studio?
3. A creative professional product since Gemini models are excellent at multimodal.
I feel like this is all you really need (other than the Labs experiments...?).
Right now, I think the story of what to use for what is confusing to consumers and developers.
I recognize this is probably extremely difficult to do since there are so many talented folks building many talented things on your team.
But you can see how the other labs are consolidating their products and I think Google needs to do the same.
Don't want to repeat the Google messaging app debacle from years prior :)

This. It’s pretty much the biggest friction most people have said.
💯 this! Former Googler here, and it's like I can see the direct mapping to "go/Teams", their internal org chart tool
AI Studio already uses Antigravity
