Google Gemini

What is Google Gemini?

Google Gemini is Google's AI assistant and the app for its Gemini family of AI models. You can chat with it in the browser or on mobile, ask it to write and edit text, explain topics, summarize documents, help with code, analyze images and files, and work with other Google services such as Gmail, Docs, Drive and Photos.

The free version includes core features such as Gemini Live for voice conversations, Deep Research, Canvas for working on documents and code, and Gems, which are custom assistants you can set up for a specific task. Paid Google AI plans (Plus, Pro and Ultra) raise usage limits, add longer context windows, more advanced models and creative tools such as video generation, and bundle Google One cloud storage. Developers who want to build with the models use the separate Gemini API, which is billed per token.

Gemini is useful for students, professionals, developers and anyone already working in Google's ecosystem. Plan names, prices and limits have changed several times and can differ by country, so check Google's current plan page. As with any AI assistant, verify important facts before relying on them.
