What is Google Gemini?

Gemini is Google's family of multimodal AI models that can process text, images, audio, and video. It's integrated into Google products (Search, Workspace, Android) and available via API for developers.

How does Gemini compare to GPT-4?

Gemini and GPT-4 compete closely on benchmarks. Gemini excels at multimodal tasks and Google ecosystem integration. GPT-4 has a larger developer ecosystem and plugin marketplace. Performance varies by task—neither is universally better.

Gemini offers a free tier in Google AI Studio and a generous free API quota. Gemini Advanced ($20/month via Google One) unlocks the most capable models. For developers, API pricing is competitive with OpenAI.

What are the different Gemini model versions?

Gemini comes in several versions: Gemini Ultra (most capable), Gemini Pro (balanced), Gemini Flash (fast and efficient), and Gemini Nano (on-device). Each is optimized for different use cases from complex reasoning to mobile deployment.

How do I use Gemini API for development?

Get started at ai.google.dev. Create a project, get an API key, and use the Google AI SDK (available for Python, Node.js, Go, and more). The free tier includes 60 requests/minute—enough for prototyping and small applications.

Can Gemini analyze images and videos?

Yes, Gemini is natively multimodal. It can analyze images, extract text from screenshots, understand charts, and process video content. This makes it excellent for visual tasks that other text-only models struggle with.

Is Gemini integrated into Google Workspace?

Yes, Gemini powers AI features across Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Meet through Duet AI (now Gemini for Workspace). Business users can get AI assistance for writing, analysis, and meeting summaries directly in Google apps.
