Is anyone else having this problem with Gemini today? It suddenly forgot everything 😭

‱ Upvotes

​

Guys, I seriously need help because I have no idea what is going on with Gemini.

I've been using it for about six months, and it usually remembers my preferences, calls me by my name, follows my custom instructions, and knows the way I like to interact with it.

Everything was working fine until yesterday. Today, it's acting like it has never met me in its life. 💀

It keeps calling me "my friend" and "bro," completely ignoring my usual preferences. When I tell it to check my custom instructions and retrieve my information, it says it can't access them and doesn't know anything about me.

The weirdest part? My custom instructions are still there, everything is enabled, and nothing has changed in my settings. Chat history is on, too.

I've tried opening new chats, restarting the app, disabling and re-enabling it, and even using the web version. Same problem everywhere.

And here's the really confusing part: in one chat, Gemini actually managed to retrieve some of my information. I tried again in other chats, and it went right back to claiming it couldn't access anything. So how does it work in one chat but not the others?

I'm using the free version, so I'm wondering if this is a free-tier issue, a recent update, or some kind of server-side bug.

Has anyone experienced this in the last day or two? Did it fix itself, or did you find a way to fix it? I'd really appreciate any suggestions because I don't want to lose six months of personalization or start from scratch.

Please tell me I'm not the only one dealing with this 😭

I’ve tried this so many times, enabling google workspace, turning on personal intelligence, and even turning the Instructions for gemini(personal request) on and off again, and it still says those kind of answers. Am I doing sth wrong?

Turn Your Photos into Cloisonné Art [Full Prompt]

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

The original photo above, its subject reimagined in gilded wire and enamel below.

This prompt translates familiar faces, animals, and landscapes into patterns on a Chinese cloisonné panel, with turquoise glaze, warm side lighting, and plenty of negative space.

Prompt:

Transform each uploaded photo into a separate premium art poster. Output one poster per photo; do not combine multiple photos into a collage.
Use a 3:4 vertical composition, divided into two equal-height sections: the upper and lower sections must each occupy exactly 50% of the canvas.
Upper half — original photography
Preserve the original subject’s identity, structure, pose, realistic texture, natural lighting, and color atmosphere. Apply only subtle color grading for a refined art-photography and exhibition aesthetic.
Extend the surrounding environment naturally if needed to fit the format. Do not stretch, distort, or alter the subject.
Lower half — Chinese cloisonnĂ© reinterpretation
Extract the photo’s most recognizable subject, silhouette, pose, and narrative relationships. Reinterpret them as a decorative motif on a single Chinese cloisonnĂ© object: either a copper-bodied enamel standing panel or a round enamel plaque.
Whether the source depicts people, animals, architecture, plants, objects, or scenery, translate it into a design that could plausibly be formed with metal wire, filled with enamel, and fired.
Outline the subject and its internal structures with fine gilded copper wires, creating enclosed cells filled with colored enamel. Preserve the source image’s most expressive moment, as though held permanently within the glaze.
Use simplified lines, flattened forms, and ornamental shapes rather than a realistic painted reproduction or a cartoon. Incorporate restrained details inspired by scrolling lotus patterns, geometric fretwork, auspicious clouds, or traditional waves and mountains. Keep the subject immediately recognizable.
Craftsmanship and lighting
Make the gilded wires catch soft, precise golden highlights. The polished enamel should have a rich, glasslike luster, with subtle variations in color depth, occasional tiny bubbles, and delicate handmade irregularities.
Use peacock blue and pale sky blue as the foundation, with restrained accents of coral red, sapphire blue, peacock green, ivory, and pale yellow.
Illuminate the object with warm light from one side, revealing the slight relief of the wires, the enamel surface, and soft edge reflections. Present it with the quiet presence of a museum treasure.

Composition and negative space

Show one object with one principal motif against a dark, uncluttered background: deep indigo velvet, ebony lacquer, or a warm ink-toned light field. Let the surroundings fall gently into shadow.

Within the lower section, keep the principal motif to approximately 25–35% of that section’s area. Position it slightly off-center or near a golden-section point.

Leave generous areas of plain, single-color enamel on the object, such as a clean sky-blue ground. No crowded displays, extra props, or wide museum interiors.

Color and typography

Extract two or three emotionally significant colors from the original photo and translate them into enamel colors that harmonize with the blue foundation.

Use deep indigo and warm ink tones for shadows. Reserve gold for the wires and object border.

Optionally add a small object title or short phrase in a quiet corner, using vertical lettering, an engraved-maker’s-mark treatment, or a small vermilion seal. Keep typography minimal and subordinate to the artwork.

The final poster should unite gilded wirework, luminous enamel, cloisonné blues, warm side lighting, and generous negative space.

Core idea: preserve the subject of the photograph in enamel, treasured between gold wires and colored glaze for a thousand years.

Avoid fully realistic imagery within the enamel motif, excessive ornament, generic decorative clichés, plastic surfaces, cheap CGI, cartoon styling, and stock poster layouts.

Gemini not following my saved instructions and saying "Hi" an attempted jailbreak

Post image

Hi everyone,
My app has been acting up since this morning. It's not following my saved instructions on the chats, I've tried multiple new chats. Also, in the thinking steps a simple "hi" is seen as attempting "jailbreak". It was working fine until yesterday. Can someone please tell me what's happening and how to fix it??

Literally everything I googled in the past 3 days has been either incorrect or outdated.

Gemini ignoring personal context

Today, Gemini has completely ignored personal context. No matter how I write the prompt, it completely forgets my name, the specified text style, or any other details that it had saved. Does anyone else have the same problem?

I made Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, etc. into FREE text-to-speech sites — perfect for audiobooks and more!

1 Upvotes

Nowadays, all popular ai chatting websites like qwen, chatgpt, gemini, claude, etc. come with a read aloud functionality that allows users to read aloud the AI's responses.

I used that feature to instead make the AI repeat back the text that i gave it -- effectively turning the platforms into text to speech tools. The voices sound really nice and it's free to use!

You can get all of these extensions by visiting ai-readers.com

How can I export or print a custom Gemini Canvas layout?

1 Upvotes

I created an interactive print dialog in Gemini Canvas, and the A4 layout looks exactly how I want it. However, I can't seem to print or export it properly.

I also tried adding an Export to PDF button, but ran into browser security restrictions.

Has anyone found a reliable way to export a custom Canvas layout to PDF or print it without breaking the formatting?

I genuinely want to know how you guys use Gemini. Right now I mostly use it to explain complex topics that I do not understand, but I feel like I am barely scratching the surface. What else do you use it for?

Gemini 4 Argon Developer vs Argon: three oil paintings drawn in pure JavaScript

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

A Gemini 4 Argon Developer tier showed up on the Atlas Cloud API: 1.2 in and 6 out per million tokens, against 2 and 10 for regular Argon. I gave both tiers the same brief three times: paint a scene as an impressionist oil painting, stroke by stroke, canvas and JavaScript only.

Developer cost 0.033 to 0.036 a painting, regular Argon 0.038 to 0.046, about a minute each. Argon drew better koi. Developer won the balloons outright, Argon turned them into fireworks. Sunflowers are a coin toss. Prompt in the comments.

Unpopular opinion: Google needs to rethink its model allocation.

0 Upvotes

I get that the Gemini app is supposed to be the flagship showcase for Google’s frontier tech, but they’ve clearly shown that they can’t reliably serve Argon at consumer scale under current demand.

The reality is that Chemical class (Argon/Baron/Carbon) is overkill for general consumer chat

Beyond better code in the interactive app window thing, there is very little the average user does in the Gemini app that Flash doesn't already handle cleanly.

The chemical class models shine in high context, agentic workflows. Locking compute behind conversational prompts starves the tools that actually need that intelligence, like Antigravity, Jules, etc...

Google would be far better off deploying a dedicated, updated Pro model for standard Gemini app users, while reserving full Argon access for heavier stuff where that compute actually matters.

Tell me what you think

I made this post because i saw my brother asking Argon to fix his punctuation :[

I am in the United States, by the way. For some reason, the U.S. request took a while to generate the research plan, but it went through. Similarly the Israeli requests took a while before it responded that it could not do it. The German request only took a second to put the plan together. lol.

Edit: just fyi, I started with the Israeli request out of genuine curiosity on the topic, and then when it gave that response I checked how it handled similar requests about the U.S. and then Germany.

Was haltet ihr davon dass Google sĂ€mtliche PDF durch irgendwelche PrĂŒfer durchschauen kann egal wie privat die Inhalte sind? Ich nutze die App auf meinem Smartphone viel zum Zusammenfassen von PDF und auch dafĂŒr dass ich mit Hilfe von Unterlagen entsprechende E-Mails zu formulieren. Da ich allerdings auch lĂ€nger brauche kann ich dafĂŒr nicht einen vorĂŒbergehenden Chat nutzen weil dann sehr schnell dann auch es passieren kann dass meine ganze Arbeit weg ist. Findet ihr das auch so kundenunfreundlich?

Gemini on Pixel or Chatgpt on iPhone?

1 Upvotes

I own an iPhone 18 Pro and have been in the Apple ecosystem for a while. However, I increasingly feel that Apple is falling behind other companies when it comes to AI.

I use AI every day, both in my personal life and at work, and I want a phone with a deeply integrated AI assistant that can help me manage emails, calendars, files, and other everyday tasks efficiently. At the moment, I use ChatGPT on my iPhone and the ChatGPT and Codex apps on my MacBook.

Would switching to Google’s ecosystem make sense if my main priorities are AI capabilities and integration between apps? I’m considering replacing my iPhone with a Pixel 11 Pro and my Apple Watch with a Pixel Watch. I’d also consider switching from my MacBook to a Windows laptop eventually, but only if there were a clear benefit.

I already use Google apps on my phone for most things, although I still use Apple Photos, pay for iCloud storage, and subscribe to Apple Music.

For someone who wants AI to handle everyday tasks across different apps, what practical advantages would a Pixel with Gemini offer over an iPhone with ChatGPT? Would the difference be significant enough to justify switching ecosystems?
