Gemini

Gemini is Google's flagship conversational AI assistant -- the parent product family alongside Gemini Deep Research, Gemini CLI, NotebookLM, and Jules. It runs on the latest Gemini model family: Gemini 3.1 Pro (launched February 19 2026), Gemini 3 Pro, Gemini 3 Flash (powering "Auto" routing for free users), Flash-Lite, and Deep Think 3.1 (Ultra only). Capabilities include conversational chat with 1M token context window (~1,500 pages or 30,000 lines of code), multimodal input/output (text, image, audio, video), Deep Research multi-source report generation, Deep Search agentic browsing, image generation (Nano Banana Pro), video generation (Veo 3.1), voice via Gemini Live, and integration across Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive. Pricing has four consumer tiers: Free (Gemini 3 Flash on Auto with daily usage limits, plus access to Thinking 3 Pro for complex reasoning); Google AI Plus at $7.99/month for more access to Gemini 3.1 Pro and limited Veo 3.1 Lite; Google AI Pro at $19.99/month adding Gemini 3 Pro access, Deep Research, 2TB storage, NotebookLM upgrades, Gemini Code Assist, Gemini CLI, Jules, and Gemini integration in Gmail/Docs; Google AI Ultra at $249.99/month with the highest limits, Deep Think 3.1, Gemini Agent (US/English only), Veo 3.1, Project Mariner browser automation (10 simultaneous tasks), Project Genie experimental world models, 25,000 AI Credits, $100/month Google Cloud credits, YouTube Premium, and 30TB storage. For organizations, Google discontinued the standalone Gemini Business and Enterprise Workspace add-ons in early 2026 -- Gemini AI features are now bundled into Workspace Business Standard ($16.80/user/month), Business Plus ($26.40), and Enterprise tiers at no additional charge. API access (Gemini Developer API): Gemini 3.1 Pro at $2/$12 per million input/output tokens up to 200K context, Flash at $0.50/$3, Flash-Lite at $0.25/$1.50 -- roughly 2.5x cheaper than GPT-5.5 per token. Best fit: Google Workspace organizations wanting unified AI across Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive; teams needing strong multimodal capabilities (video generation, image editing, voice); developers wanting cost-effective API access with massive context windows; researchers using Deep Research for comprehensive multi-source synthesis; and individual users wanting a free tier with meaningful capability (Gemini 3 Flash on Auto). Not appropriate for organizations standardized on Microsoft 365 (use M365 Copilot or Claude), teams needing the strongest reasoning (Claude Opus 4.7 or ChatGPT Pro lead), or use cases requiring features only available in the US (Gemini Agent, Project Mariner).
