About Gemini
Gemini is Google's assistant family and the company's main consumer AI product. It runs in the browser and on mobile, and is embedded in Google's own surfaces: Search, Gmail, Docs, Drive and Android. The pitch is context — an assistant that can work with the information you already keep in Google's ecosystem.
The model is multimodal, so prompts can combine text with images, audio or uploaded files. Gemini can summarise long documents, compare sources, generate images and video on eligible plans, and hold a live spoken conversation. Deep Research produces multi-step reports with links, which is useful for early-stage investigation.
Availability and features vary by country and plan, and Google changes its tiers often. Check the official page for the exact limits where you live.
