Gemini
Google's AI assistant, at its most useful when it can see your Gmail, Docs and Drive.
What is Gemini?
If your days already run through Google, Gemini slots in naturally. Beyond normal chat, it can pull from your Gmail, Docs and Drive when you allow it, so questions like what did the vendor say about pricing last month get answers grounded in your own files.
We liked its multimodal side, too. You can show it images, ask about a YouTube video or talk to it out loud on your phone, and it handles research-style questions with Google Search behind it.
Its usefulness depends a lot on being invested in Google's ecosystem; outside it, the edge shrinks. The free version is capable, and the paid tier listed at $19.99 per month adds more advanced models plus Gemini inside Workspace apps.
Best for: People and teams who already work inside Google Workspace
