Gemini

Gemini is Google's flagship conversational AI assistant and the parent product family alongside Gemini Deep Research, Gemini CLI, NotebookLM, and Jules. It runs on the latest Gemini model family: Gemini 3.5 Flash (powering free-tier Auto routing), Gemini 3.1 Pro (available on paid tiers), Gemini Omni and Omni Flash (new models for creative and agentic workflows), and Deep Think (Ultra only for complex reasoning). Capabilities include conversational chat with 1M token context window, multimodal input and output (text, image, audio, video), Deep Research multi-source report generation, Deep Search agentic browsing, image generation and editing, video generation (Veo 3.1), music generation, voice via Gemini Live, Canvas for collaborative editing, and integration across Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive. Pricing has four consumer tiers with pricing shown in USD equivalents. Free with a Google account provides access to Gemini 3.5 Flash, varying access to 3.1 Pro, Deep Research, Gemini Live, Canvas, Gems, image generation, limited Google Flow credits for video creation, NotebookLM access, and 15GB storage. Google AI Plus at $7/month provides 2x usage limits versus free, 200 Google Flow credits, Nano Banana Pro in Search, NotebookLM upgrades, Gemini in Gmail and Docs, and 400GB storage. Google AI Pro at $20/month provides 4x usage limits, 1,000 Google Flow credits, Deep Search, Google Antigravity agentic development platform access, Gemini Code Assist, Gemini CLI, Jules, Gemini in Gmail, Docs, Vids, Google Home Premium, YouTube Premium Lite, and 5TB storage. Google AI Ultra starts at $100/month (5x limits) with a $200/month tier (20x limits), adding Deep Think, Gemini Spark (US and English only), 10,000 to 25,000 Google Flow credits, highest Google Antigravity limits, YouTube Premium, Google Home Premium Advanced, and 20 to 30TB storage. For organizations, Google discontinued standalone Gemini Business and Enterprise Workspace add-ons in early 2026. Gemini AI features are now bundled into Workspace Business Standard, Business Plus, and Enterprise tiers at no additional charge. API access via the Gemini Developer API offers Gemini 3.1 Pro, Flash, and Flash-Lite at competitive per-token rates roughly 2.5x cheaper than GPT-5.5 per token, with batch mode at 50% off and cached input at approximately 10% of cache-miss rate. Gemini differentiates versus ChatGPT and Claude through Google ecosystem integration and multimodal breadth. Customer interactions share data natively with Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Google Search, and Chrome. Google Flow provides an AI creative studio for cinematic video and story generation. Google Antigravity is a new agentic development platform for building and deploying autonomous agents. The free tier is genuinely capable with Gemini 3.5 Flash, Deep Research, Gemini Live, and image generation at no cost, making it the most feature-rich free tier among major AI assistants. Gemini is not appropriate for organizations standardized on Microsoft 365 (use M365 Copilot or Claude instead), teams needing the strongest reasoning for complex multi-step work (Claude Opus 4.7 or ChatGPT Pro lead on dense reasoning benchmarks), or use cases requiring features only available in the US and English (Gemini Agent, Gemini Spark, Deep Search in AI Mode). International Ultra subscribers pay for a meaningfully reduced feature set compared to US users. Q2 2026 state: Gemini 3.5 Flash launched as the new free-tier model. Google AI Plus tier added at $7/month between Free and Pro. Google AI Ultra now offers two sub-tiers at $100/month (5x limits) and $200/month (20x limits), replacing the single $250/month tier. Google Flow creative studio and Google Antigravity agentic development platform launched as new products. Music generation added as a capability. Workspace Gemini add-ons discontinued in favor of bundled AI in Workspace plans. G2 shows 482 reviews at 4.4 for Gemini as of June 2026.
