Gemini

What is Gemini?

Gemini is Google's multimodal AI assistant that handles text, images and files and connects to Google services. It is available on the web and as an app on Android and iOS, with a free tier and paid Google AI plans.

Key capabilities of Gemini

• Multimodal understanding: Works with text, images and uploaded files.
• Google Workspace integration: Connects with Google apps such as Drive.
• Deep research: Runs longer research tasks and compiles results.
• Image and video generation: Creates images and video from prompts.
• File understanding: Reads and summarizes uploaded documents and images.

How Gemini works

Users chat with Gemini by typing or voice, attach images or files, and call on tools such as deep research or generation. Paid plans raise usage limits and unlock the more capable models. Developers reach the Gemini models through an API instead of the app.

Who uses Gemini?

Consumers, students and professionals who live in Google products use Gemini, along with developers building on the API. Android users also get it as a phone assistant.
