Google Gemini

If you already use Gmail, Google Docs, Sheets and Drive at work, Gemini is the simplest path to AI in everyday work. The AI isn't necessarily smarter than ChatGPT or Claude. It just sits where you already work. You ask it to summarize an email thread, write a draft in Docs or analyze data in Sheets without switching apps.

What actually matters

Gemini is the strongest of the major platforms on multimodality. You can upload a video and ask for analysis, send an audio file and get transcription, or mix text, images and documents in the same conversation. Neither Claude nor ChatGPT handles video and audio as well.
