What is Google Gemini?

Google Gemini is Google's AI assistant, available on the web and in mobile apps. It answers questions, helps with writing and planning, analyzes images and files, and can create images, all through a chat interface tied to your Google account. It is most useful for people who already rely on Google services. Gemini can connect to apps such as Gmail, Google Drive, Docs and Maps to find and use your own information, and it can run longer research tasks that compile a report from many web sources. Gems let you save custom versions of the assistant for tasks you repeat often.
