GROK THIS - THREE NEW UPDATES

GOOGLE GEMINI 1.5

We're launching Google's AI model as both a Build model and as an /[Integration] if you get Pro.

Gemini Context Size Comparison
It's a big boi.

With a massive 128k context window, it's one of the largest on the market today.

It can handle a longer, more detailed spec, and can support apps which process a ton of data, like your app that maps all the bidet toilets in the city.

INSTANT DATABASE (BETA)

Speaking of processing data. You can stop asking. There's finally a way to store your data with Databases.

Usually when setting up a database you need to define a schema. But with Create, you just need to describe how your app will work and it'll figure out how to store data in it. It's that easy.

Now you can make apps that store data. Even cooler, you can then use your databases across multiple projects. And you can see all the data in your apps from the Dashboard.

Go ahead, give us all the data.

SHADCN/UI

Another week, another design library to pull components from, another way to make your apps beautiful. Just type /shadcn

I don't know about y'all, but one of these looks way better to me. Why reinvent the wheel when you can put 20 inch rims on it?

For a reminder on how to use design libraries, Zaria's got you.
