Gemini
For anyone who works with Google and Android
What I use it for
I have a Pixel phone and a Pixel watch. Gemini is built right into them: adding appointments, summarising emails in Gmail, asking something by voice when I’m out and about.
Who it suits
Anyone who uses Gmail, Google Calendar or an Android phone. If you don’t, you can skip Gemini.
How to get started
- Open the Gemini app on your Android phone or go to gemini.google.com, then sign in with your Google account.
- Give it a task from your own inbox: “Summarise today’s emails for me.”
- Try it by voice: “Remind me about the doctor’s appointment tomorrow at 9 am.”
Free or paid
The free version is enough for everyday use. A subscription gets you the stronger model and more storage. See the official pricing page
What to watch out for
Gemini only sees your Google data if you allow it. Check in the settings which services it can access.
My verdict
Hard to beat if your daily life already runs on Google.
