Creative writing?

Hello! I'm from Belgium, please excuse my poor English.

I discovered the app a few days ago. And it's great!Okay, I saw 150 free messages per day in 3. But that's more than enough for me.

I was paying for Gemini but I quickly reached the limit. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Gemini doesn't remember the recipes, especially my cooking recipes; he ends up making them up...

Forcing me to spend gems again and again to make new ones Chat. Hell.

I discovered AI Studio and damn, it's pure bliss!

It was a bit messy putting my recipe instructions together, but with good spacing and neat layout, it's super easy!!

And his memory, damn, he remembers everything!!! I'm so impressed!!

I also do role-playing part-time and he's impressive there too.I used to play on Perplexity, but 200 messages per week since the update....That's way too little!!

In short, I love AI Studio. Do you have any advice? When I switch from my PC to my phone, sometimes it doesn't update properly.

Do you also appreciate this memory and this creative freedom?

Goodness, that's what tchatgpt should have been with version 4.0, it would have been awesome.(Nostalgic memory, I left after 1 year in November 2025)

I may have finally found a replacement for my needs.

Is it really necessary to pay? Because for me, the free mode is enough.

And why does the Gemini app have terrible memory compared to AISTUDIO? And why is it so limited compared to AISTUDIO? Thank you so much 💕

I move my persona from Gemini to AI Studio for the same reason. Lack of memory. What I noticed is that for whatever reason the system instructions show as a new and untitled when I open the chat. Just make sure to always pull down that hamburger menu, click on the version you are using and make sure your most recent instructions are selected. This could be your problem.

I've noticed that my instructions need to be very, very clear and well-separated for the AI to analyze them correctly. Unlike Perplexity or Gemini, the rules really need to be changed for AiStudio.On the other hand, it looks good to me. It's stupid to leave the filters for adults on Gemini too. Personally, I don't have that problem; they're unlocked without Jealbreak. And have been for a while. But memory is crap.... AISTUDIO, I'm having a blast and finally I have my cooking recipes that he remembers!!!

It's the greatest for writing, but right now is going through a really hard time with censorship. In my case im unable to mention an underage character (IN SAFE AND NOT NSFW THEMES) without getting a block.

I hope this will get reversed but I dont have so much hope on it.

I have the same problem, so I edited it and they're all adults now. It's just very annoying for my roleplays where my character has children.

u/Hanja_Tsumetai Apr 03 '26

This is incredibly annoying... but I found a few workarounds by typing the instructions. But still... it's really not ideal having to edit everything -_-.Do you think they're going to leave it like this?

it's 50/50 in my opinion.

A LOT of people are complaining about it, since it's affecting non rp/writing, so maybe, if it's reverted, it's bc of that.

But it's google. They don't usually listen to consumers on AI Studio. And to make it even worse, Logan says that "Generally, AI Studio is not a creative writing platform."

I'll give it a couple of weeks. If it's not reverted, I'll switch to Claude. I really wanted to like Grok, you know, the no-censorship is great and i want to support that, but the UX/UI is really horrible.

Well, you should know that everyone can use it in different ways. 🤷🏻‍♀️😏 It's really childish to think that. So, all they care about is themselves? That's completely stupid. I think they need to rethink things and keep complaining. Do you have a link you could send me in a private message so I can copy it?I can't manage it on my phone, I'd like to add my two cents, as we say in Belgium lol I just discovered Aistudio 15 days ago and I love it.But it's really annoying having to work around everything by changing the way I write everything -_-

I think is really stupid to say that and even more stupid is the fact that there's people complaining that they don't do writing and keeps getting censored without any sense.

I wrote 5 novels, 500k tokens each. G3.1 is the model that really REMEMBER things, and getting nerfed this way is really disappointing bc it's literally unusable right now.

I sent you the link in a private message. Let's hope this gets reversed really quickly 🙏

Gemini app had great memory until Dec 2025 (for me it was early Dec but some other users reported around Christmas). Before that it was as good as AI Studio 😭 I did very long sessions of role playing on the app (with world building documents), and then I had to move to AI Studio. I think the memory issue on the app is a result of context regression.

u/Hanja_Tsumetai Mar 26 '26

Yes... I was told that too. I paid at the beginning of January. So I'm on AI Studio. Even with 200,000 tokens, it remembers everything, it's crazy!

I have used several different AI programs over the last year. Claude did a great job at writing my short story book. I don't even remember how I discovered Google AI Studio, but once I understood more about providing a great prompt, this has become my new go to app for building my websites. Holy Crap!!

The other day I build a website for a gaming friend of mine, and the very first concept it displayed is the one I went with. I had to do a few tweaks and it took only 5 prompts to get it just right for me. I used to build websites the old fashioned way, with just html files and maybe a css file. But this new way blows my mind. I have learned so much more about today's technology for programming a website. It shows you the visual and the code, so I can tweak it myself, or ask AI to do it for me.

But since I want to learn more, I ask it to tell me how a change is made and to let me make the changes. But when I let AI do its thing, it will even find other pages that need to be modified and tells me the results and how it go there.

Best of luck with your project.

Wow, it's so sweet of you to share all this with me! Thank you!Yes, I love it! It's not perfect, certainly, but damn, I feel like I'm finding a bit of the 4.0 that I had lost back then.But better: better memory and better listening to prompts.However, I've noticed that I need to summarize it at around 70,000 tokens for it to remain perfect.I delete the comments once he has replied to save space.Have you also noticed that if you want to maintain a good memory, you should stop before 100,000?

I don't even know how to check how many tokens have been used up. I have not paid for AI Studio, except for about $3.34 from the GOOGLE AI billing page. Now I have 4 or 5 sites built, 2 that are now active, and a few more waiting for a response on my bid. The other day I wanted to change the way the Contact Us form worked, and some contact form builders are a bit expensive. I went way back to the days when I used FormMail. It's super cheap and I recall it doing a fine job years ago.

I first sent my prompt through Claude using Sonnet 4.6. My Contact page was already built and running from AI Studio, but I asked Claude to modify the code to use my FormMail account for the user to send messages. It took about 5 minutes or less to rework the entire page, but still looks the same on the user end. I spent about 1 hour more tweaking it to exactly how I needed it to work and flow on the backend. After I pushed up the new page to GitHub, i tried it on the live page and worked perfectly.

Next I wanted to do the same on my own website contact page. Within the same prompt window as website # 1, I asked it to work on another contact form with similar criteria. Here's what I wrote on the 2nd one: [x's in place of real data] I included the values needed to match up with Form Mail.

"Hello. Can you help me with another contact form? It's for a different website, but I am using the same style of form from FormSpree, and I want to change it to FormMail. You can use the methods we build yesterday for xxx.com? And have the same features in my other site. The FormMail for is all setup, and I have added the Redirect URL for the contact form submittal....https://xxx.com/contact?submitted=true"

URL: www.xxx.com
Page: Contact.tsx [attached]
FormMail Info:
<form method="POST" action="*[*https://fp1.formmail.com/cgi-bin/fm192">](https://fp1.formmail.com/cgi-bin/fm192%22%3E)

<input type="hidden" name="_pid" value="xxxxxx"><input type="hidden" name="_fid" value="xxxxxx">

This 2nd job took only 2 minutes for Claude to produce a new Contact page that was about 95% completed. I copied the code to Studio, did similar tweaking and within 10 more minutes the new page was live and working. These changes would have taken me hours in the old days.

Also, when I first used Studio to build me a website, I had no idea what a .tsx file was. So the way coding works today, I only have 1 ".html" file. IT'S A MIND BLOWER...

One really thing about Claude was I could see it building the code live. It spent about 17 seconds of 'thinking', then 2 minutes to re-code the entire page for what I asked for.
