About Google Gemini

Google Gemini is Google's AI assistant, available in the browser at gemini.google.com and as apps for Android and iOS. It handles text, voice, image and file input, and covers everyday chat, writing and coding help, Deep Research reports, image, video and music generation, and spoken conversations through Gemini Live. Users can also create Gems, which are custom assistants with saved instructions, and work on documents and code in Canvas.

  • Workspace Drafting: Draft emails and summarize documents with Gemini in Gmail and Docs on Pro or Ultra.
  • Studying: Upload class material or PDFs and ask questions about them.
  • Image and Video Creation: Generate and edit images, or create short videos on paid plans.
  • Voice Help: Talk to Gemini Live while showing it a camera view or screen.
