Gemini
Google's AI assistant that works with Gmail, Docs, YouTube and Maps to help you search, create and plan.
What is Gemini?
Gemini is Google's AI assistant. You can type, talk or show it a photo, and it helps you find answers, create content and get things done. Since it's made by Google, it connects with apps you already use every day.
Think of it as Google Search that talks back and does the work for you.
