Gemini
Google’s multimodal assistant — strong with text, images and your Workspace (Docs, Gmail, Sheets).
What it is
Gemini is Google’s AI assistant. It handles text, images and documents together, has a very large context window, and plugs into Google Workspace so it can help right inside Docs, Gmail and Sheets.
Best for
- Working across long documents and spreadsheets.
- Anyone already living inside Google Workspace.
Best practices
- Point it at a file (“summarise this Doc”, “clean up this Sheet”) instead of retyping.
- Attach images or screenshots when the question is visual.
- Ask for tables and structured output — it formats cleanly.
