What is Google Gemini?

Google Gemini is Google's multimodal AI assistant that works with text, images, video, and audio. It integrates directly with Google's ecosystem, including Gmail, Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Search, making it useful for people already using Google services. You can ask Gemini questions, get help writing or analysing content, summarise information, and generate ideas. The tool is available through a free tier with basic capabilities, and a paid subscription for higher usage limits and access to more advanced models.
