SMRTR summary

Google canceled its AI Studio mobile app on July 31, one day before its planned launch, despite nearly 800,000 pre-registrations from over 168 countries. Instead of a standalone app, Google will fold AI Studio's app-building tools directly into Gemini, aiming to make one unified AI hub rather than multiple separate apps.
