Used For

• +**Manually reviewing hours of security footage to find when someone arrived** → Ask "what time did the delivery truck come" and get timestamps in seconds
• +**Copy-pasting between ChatGPT and Google Docs for content creation** → Generate text and images directly in Docs without leaving your workflow
• +**Uploading homework photos to multiple apps hoping one understands** → Upload any image and get step-by-step explanations that actually make sense
• +Handles 2 million tokens at once - dump entire research papers or legal documents for instant analysis
• +Voice commands on Android that understand what's on your screen - no more explaining context to your AI

Best For

• >You live in Google Workspace and want AI that can read your actual emails and documents
• >Drowning in security camera footage but need to find specific moments without watching hours
• >Your team drafts content in Google Docs and needs instant image generation for presentations

Not For

• -Teams not using Google Workspace - you'll miss 80% of the useful integrations and just have expensive ChatGPT
• -Privacy-focused companies - Google stores your conversations and has access to analyze your content
• -Heavy API users or developers building custom integrations - this is consumer-focused, not developer-heavy like OpenAI

Pairs With

• *Google Workspace (where it actually shines - reading your Gmail threads and Drive files like they're its own memory)
• *Google Nest Cameras (to search footage with natural language instead of scrubbing through hours of video)
• *Google Slides (generates presentation images from text prompts so you're not hunting stock photos)
• *Google Home (voice queries that understand your smart home setup and family routines)
• *Android (screen assist that sees what you're looking at and answers questions about it)
• *Google Maps (integrates trip planning with real flight data and hotel suggestions)

The Catch

• !Free tier hits limits fast if you're doing image generation or video analysis - you'll bump into caps after 10-20 requests
• !Locked into Google's ecosystem harder than a maximum security prison - weak outside Gmail and Drive
• !Android gets all the cool screen-reading features while iOS users are stuck with basic chat

Bottom Line

Google's AI that actually sees your Gmail, Drive files, and camera footage - finally, an assistant that knows your stuff.
