Google Gemini

Gemini is Google's AI assistant for chat-based help with writing, planning and brainstorming. You ask a question or describe a task, and it replies in the same conversation, which you can keep refining.

Gemini helps with everyday tasks such as drafting an email, outlining a project or comparing options. It also handles image requests from the same chat, so you do not need a separate tool for simple visuals.

• Chat-based answers to questions
• Drafting and editing text
• Brainstorming and planning help
• Image creation from text prompts
• Saved activity when signed in

Students, writers, office workers and people planning trips or projects will find it useful. It suits quick questions and first drafts more than specialised research work.

Gemini has a free version, and a paid subscription adds more usage and features. It runs in the browser and as a mobile app. Google's terms and privacy policy apply, and the assistant can make mistakes, so check important facts.
