Tool introduction 3 min read ChatQT Team

What is Gemini?

Google Gemini is Google's family of language and multimodal models, designed for conversation, analysis, coding and working with image and audio. Unlike the previous generation (PaLM), Gemini was built from the start for combined inputs (text + image + video in higher versions) and is available in products like Google Search, Google Workspace and the Gemini mobile app.

Main versions

Gemini Flash

Fast and economical; good for everyday chat, text classification, summarizing and high-volume tasks with low latency.

Gemini Pro

A balance between quality and speed; the default option for most professional and analytical tasks.

Gemini Ultra / Advanced

The highest level of reasoning and accuracy; usually available in a paid subscription or enterprise environments.

Multimodal capability

Gemini can—depending on the version—work with several input types at once:

  • Analyzing charts, screenshots and photos
  • Transcribing and summarizing audio files
  • Answering questions based on a PDF or long document

Connection to Google Search

Unlike models that rely only on training data, Gemini can back its answer with live web search; useful for news, up-to-date stats and fact-checking claims.
