A few things
before we start.

Tangent uses Google's Gemini to host every room. Their terms require us to be straight with you.

I'm 18 or older
Google's Gemini API terms require every user of an AI app to be 18+.
I understand hosts are AI
Sage, Violet, Atlas and your sidekicks are generative AI. They get things wrong. Nothing here is medical, legal, or financial advice.
I understand how messages are handled
Messages are processed by Google to generate replies. Don't share sensitive personal information. See our Privacy Policy.
I agree to the Terms
Tangent's Terms and Google's Prohibited Use Policy.
Region: Google requires paid-tier access for users in the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK.
Tangent is independent and not endorsed by Google.

Orbit Questions
Generated from this room's topic. Tap one to say it.
📚
Research
Tap any item to pull it into the conversation. Grounded with Google Search.
👥

Perspectives
Each take is one discipline on this exact message. Nothing enters the room unless you send it.

Thread
🌿 This outgrew the thread
Six deep and still going. Give it its own room — it keeps the thread plus a fresh research pass.

Knowledge Book
Everything you've kept, across every room
🌱
Plant a seed
Left here for whoever comes next
Seeds stay in the room. You earn XP again when someone unearths it.

Endpoint URL
Best — your own Cloud Function:
https://us-central1-ai-visi-chat.cloudfunctions.net/callGemini
No key in the browser at all.

Local testing only — Gemini direct:
https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-3.6-flash:generateContent?key=YOUR_KEY
Paste your own key at the end. It stays in this browser tab and is never sent anywhere but Google. Never ship a build with a key in it — that's the bug you already fixed once.
Seeing quota errors while it still works?
That's requests-per-minute, not a spend cap. Calls are queued one at a time with a short gap, retried with backoff on 429, and cached — ask the same thing twice and the second one is free. A paid key raises the ceiling.
If it errors, try another model

Talk out loud with the host
