Gemini

Gemini is Google's AI assistant app for chat, research, image and video generation, with a permanent free tier and paid Google AI plans.

Gemini is Google's AI assistant, available as a web app, as Android and iOS apps, and as a layer inside Google's own products. It answers questions, drafts and edits text, generates images and short video, and holds spoken conversations. Google LLC, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., builds and operates it. It is made for people who want one assistant that can also reach the mail, files and calendar they already keep with Google. Deep Research runs a multi step investigation and returns a written report with its sources. Gemini Live turns the assistant into a spoken conversation on the web, on Android and iOS, and in Chrome. Canvas gives text and code their own editing surface beside the chat. Gems save a task assistant with a fixed role, persona and tone, and premade Gems cover common jobs. Connected Apps let Gemini find and summarize a person's own Gmail, Drive, Docs and Calendar content. Image generation, video generation, Daily Brief and Deep Search sit on the paid tiers. Gemini suits everyday users who want a capable assistant before committing to a subscription, and Google Workspace users who want the same assistant inside Gmail, Docs and Drive. Students and researchers use it to read and condense long material. Writers and marketers use it for artwork and short video clips. People who run into the free tier's usage caps move up for higher limits and more generation credits. It is bought as a Google AI subscription on one Google account rather than per seat. Each step up raises both the usage limits and the Google One storage on that account, and the plan cards list every tier. Gemini is used on the web, on a phone, and inside the Google apps people already have open: Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Calendar, Chat, Meet, Chrome and YouTube. The everyday jobs are summarizing a thread, drafting a reply, planning a piece of research, making an image, and talking a problem through out loud. Chat activity has its own retention controls, so a person can set how long conversations are kept or switch history off. Teams that want programmatic access to the models use a separate Google product, the Gemini API and Google AI Studio, rather than this app.
