Overview

Gemini is Google's consumer assistant, the successor to Bard. It runs on the web at gemini.google.com, in Android and iOS apps, and is embedded in Gmail, Docs, Vids and other Workspace apps on paid plans. Features include Gemini Live voice conversation with camera sharing, Deep Research for long-form reports, Canvas for drafting and coding, Gems for saved custom assistants, image generation and editing, video generation, and long-context file handling. Access is tiered through Google AI plans: a free tier, Google AI Plus, Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra, which differ in model access, usage multiples, video generation, cloud storage and Workspace integration. Enterprise editions are sold separately under Gemini Enterprise. Because the assistant is tightly coupled to a Google account, data handling follows Google's account-level privacy settings, which users should review before relying on it for sensitive material.
