Google Gemini
Google’s most capable AI model, natively multimodal from the ground up. Built to understand and reason across text, images, audio, video, and code with real-time information through deep Google Search integration.
Overview
Google Gemini is a natively multimodal AI model family developed by Google DeepMind, designed to process and reason across text, images, audio, video, and code simultaneously from the ground up. Unlike models that bolt vision or audio onto text-only architectures, Gemini was built as a multimodal system from inception. With deep integration into Google Search, Workspace, and Android, Gemini offers real-time information access and seamless productivity workflows across the entire Google ecosystem.
Core Features
Native Multimodal Reasoning
Process and reason across text, images, audio, and video simultaneously within a single model architecture. Upload a video and ask questions about its content, or analyze charts alongside written reports without mode switching.
Real-Time Google Search
Ground responses in live Google Search results with source citations. Access current events, stock prices, sports scores, and breaking news with verified attribution, no knowledge cutoff limitations.
Deep Google Workspace Integration
Native integration with Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Drive, and Calendar. Summarize email threads, draft documents from Drive files, analyze spreadsheets, and schedule meetings directly within the chat interface.
Nano Banana Image Generation
Generate and edit images directly in chat using Nano Banana 2 (fast, high-volume) or Nano Banana Pro (studio-quality, up to 4K resolution, built on Gemini 3 Pro). Supports photorealistic images, infographics, accurate text rendering, and brand-consistent visuals, all watermarked with SynthID.
Advanced Coding with Gemini 3.1 Pro
Gemini 3.1 Pro delivers state-of-the-art coding performance. Build full applications, debug complex systems, and comprehend large codebases. Developers can also access Google Antigravity, the agentic development platform, and Gemini Code Assist for IDE integration.
Gems & Custom Agents
Create personalized AI experts called “Gems” with custom instructions and knowledge bases. Build specialized assistants for specific tasks, roles, or workflows that retain context and personality across sessions. Available on free and all paid plans.
Music Generation with Lyria 3
Generate full music tracks – including instrumentals, vocals, and lyrics directly in the Gemini app using Lyria 3. Create 30-second clips or up to 3-minute full songs with Lyria 3 Pro. Also accessible via Flow Music, Google’s dedicated AI music creation platform.
