What it is
Gemini is Google's AI assistant. It runs on the web, in Android and iOS apps and in a desktop app for Windows and macOS, and it also appears inside Chrome, Gmail and Docs. The free plan includes image generation and editing, Deep Research, Gemini Live voice chats, Canvas and Gems (custom assistants), on Google's lighter Flash-Lite model.
It suits people already using Google's services. Paid usage comes through Google AI plans: AI Plus at $4.99 a month doubles free usage and adds video generation, AI Pro at $19.99 adds the Pro models and 5 TB of storage, and AI Ultra from $99.99 gives the highest limits. Free-tier caps are lower, and the strongest models need a paid plan.
Best for
- People who live in Gmail, Docs and other Google apps
- Voice conversations with Gemini Live on a phone
- Bundling AI with extra Google storage
