Gemini is Google's multimodal AI assistant, built to understand and generate text, code, images, and audio. It serves as a direct competitor to other frontier models, offering deep integration with the Google ecosystem, including Docs, Gmail, Drive, Flights, and Hotels.
The tool allows users to draft emails, summarize documents from their Drive, and plan trips using real-time data from Google Maps and Flights. With 'Gemini Advanced', users gain access to the most capable 1.5 Pro model, which features a massive context window for analyzing large datasets and long documents.
Key differentiators include its native connection to Google Workspace, the ability to verify answers using Google Search (Double-check feature), and robust image generation capabilities powered by Imagen.
