Google Gemini
Google's AI assistant for chat, research, writing and multimodal tasks, with very long context and built-in image generation.
About Google Gemini
Google Gemini is Google’s flagship AI assistant. It answers questions, drafts and edits writing, helps with coding, summarises documents and works across text, images, audio and video in one conversation. Gemini is deeply connected to Google services, can browse current information through Google Search, and its Pro models offer one of the largest context windows available, so it can analyse very long documents or whole codebases at once. A generous free tier runs in the browser and mobile apps with no credit card; the paid Google AI Pro plan raises limits and unlocks the strongest models.
