Feature Suggestion: Add “Replicate” for Remix Apps
Google AI Studio already has Remix and Copy. It would be extremely useful to add a new “Replicate” option.
When a user remixes an app and then continues making changes to the Original App, they should be able to replicate those new changes to their Remix version.
Example:
Original App → Remix → Remix App
Later, the Original App gets new changes.
Original App → Replicate → Remix App
AI Studio should identify the changes made to the Original since the Remix was created and apply the relevant changes to the Remix, while preserving changes independently made in the Remix where possible.
Important Restriction
Replication should only work between:
Original App ↔ Its Own Remix Apps
It should NOT be possible between unrelated apps or between different Remix apps.
Allowed:
Original → Remix A
Original → Remix B
Original → Remix C
Not allowed:
Remix A → Remix B
App A → App B
Unrelated App → Remix
A Change Review before replication would also be useful to show additions, modifications, deletions, and conflicts.
Remix = Create a branch.
Replicate = Bring new changes from the Original into that branch.
This could make Remix much more powerful for maintaining multiple customized versions of the same app.
Thanks Ganesh. I agree this would be useful & have passed it onto the product management team.
Thanks @Jon_Matthews
One more feature I’d like to suggest:
Feature Suggestion: Add “Search Chat” to Google AI Studio
It would be extremely useful to add a Search Chat option to the existing Gemini chat interface.
Users often have long conversations with many previous prompts and responses. Instead of manually scrolling through the entire conversation, users should be able to search previous chat messages by typing keywords or phrases.
How it could work
Add a small Search icon/option within the existing chat interface.
When clicked:
Search this chat
Type a keyword or phrase…
For example, a user could search:
- login
- database
- authentication
- API
- dark mode
- error handling
AI Studio would search both user messages and Gemini responses and display matching occurrences.
Suggested behavior
- Highlight the matching keyword in the conversation.
- Show the number of matches, e.g. 5 results.
- Provide ↑ / ↓ navigation between matches.
- Clicking a result should jump directly to that message.
- Search should work with partial words and phrases.
- Optionally support case-insensitive search.
- Search should cover the entire current conversation, not just the currently visible messages.
Additional idea
A “Search Chat” keyboard shortcut such as ⌘/Ctrl + F could instantly open the chat search.
This would be especially valuable for long-running conversations where users need to quickly find a previous prompt, decision, instruction, error, or Gemini response.
Simple feature, but a major improvement to usability for long AI Studio conversations.
