Gemini, explained simply
Gemini is Google's chat assistant. You sign in with a Google account and ask it to draft, explain, or summarise.
What it is best at
Writing and research
Google AI Pro lists expanded Deep Research and Gemini in Gmail, Docs, and Sheets.
Images and video
The plans page lists more access to image, music, and video generation on paid plans.
Google apps
Pro includes Gemini in Gmail, Docs, and Sheets. That is broader than the free chat.
Who uses it
Google sells the plans as personal Google AI subscriptions with family sharing on the paid storage plans. They do not publish a list of occupations.
Key features
Chat
Gemini is available with a Google account at gemini.google.com. Paid plans raise usage limits.
Gmail and Docs
Google AI Pro lists Gemini in Gmail, Docs, and Sheets. Leave that access off for a paste-only recipe.
Storage
The US plan table pairs AI Plus with 400 GB or 2 TB, Pro with 5 TB, and Ultra with 20 TB or 30 TB.
Family sharing
The plan table includes family sharing with up to 5 people on these Google AI plans.
