Google's AI, deeply woven into Gmail, Docs, and Android.
Category: Chatbot · Last updated: October 7, 2026
Gemini is Google's AI assistant, and its killer feature is integration: it lives inside Gmail, Google Docs, Sheets, and Android. As of late 2026, Gemini 3.1 Pro powers the experience, with strong multimodal abilities inherited from Google's research. If your work already lives in Google Workspace, Gemini removes the copy-paste friction other chatbots can't avoid.

Bard was the original name; Google rebranded it to Gemini in 2024. Same product line, much more capable models since.
