Considering Google is catching up with their latest Gemini models, it would be great to be able to use or at least have the option to choose Gemini in Assistant. ---

when assistant is struggling…My current workflow is: 1. download files. 2. upload files and error messages to gemini advanced. 3. either pasting gemini response into assistant, or just pasting code directly into file. It’s a lot of work. it will be nice when they announce access to gemini 2.5 pro with assistant. ---

It’s silly that we don’t have more options in Assistant, including GPT4.1, so that we can bounce back and forth without leaving Replit. Having to copy/paste/download/upload files constantly to get things fixed is wholly inefficient, yet it’s the workflow all of us power users rely on to actually make progress.
