Gemini 2.0 The Native AI.
Google Gemini

While other AIs are apps you open, Gemini is an AI that lives in your phone. On Android 16, Gemini replaces Google Assistant completely. It can read your screen, understand your emails, and even navigate apps for you (e.g., "Find me a hotel in this area and book it").

Native Multimodality

Gemini was trained natively on video, audio, and code. This makes it fundamentally different from GPT-4, which stitches different models together.

You can upload a 1-hour lecture video, and Gemini can transcribe it, summarize it, and answer specific questions like "What did the professor say at minute 42?" within seconds. It creates a searchable index of your media.

Benchmarks: Gemini vs. GPT-5

We ran the standard MMLU (Massive Multitask Language Understanding) and the new Video-MME benchmarks.

The Workspace Advantage

If you use Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides, Gemini is a superpower.

• Sheets: "Analyze this sales data and create a quarterly growth chart." It writes the formula and inserts the chart.
• Gmail: "Summarize all emails from my boss this week and draft a reply mentioning the project status."
• Slides: Generates images and slide layouts from a simple text prompt.

Pricing Plans

Gemini comes in two flavors: the free Pro version and the paid Advanced version (bundled with Google One).

Final Verdict

If you live in the Google ecosystem (Android, Gmail, Docs), Gemini is unbeatable. The seamless integration and massive context window make it a better "assistant" than ChatGPT, even if ChatGPT might still have a slight edge in pure creative writing.
