What is Google Gemini?
Gemini is an AI sidekick that’ll never let you feel stuck or uninspired. It works just like a real-life personal assistant and generates human-like responses using your prompts. You can even have a live chat with Gemini if you want to.
Here are a few of the coolest things it can do:
-
Answers your questions: If you ever need a quick answer to something, just ask Gemini. You’ll get a helpful reply that’s easy to understand.

-
Summarises videos or long text: Gemini can save you time by picking out the most important bits from a long doc, email, video or webpage. It’ll produce a succinct list for you in just a few seconds.
-
Helps you stay on track: Got a busy week ahead? You can use your voice to set reminders, organise tasks, and get recommendations so every day will run smoothly.

Connects with other apps: Gemini can offer personalised help by accessing relevant info across your Gmail inbox, Google Calendar, and more. It can even integrate with other apps like Samsung Calendar, Notes, Reminder and Clock.
Now that you know some of the best things about Gemini, here are a few real-life situations that show just how handy it can be…
How Gemini can help you plan a holiday.
Need an itinerary for an upcoming trip? Don’t stress — just tell Gemini where you’re headed and ask which must-see attractions and restaurants are nearby. If you give it the dates you’re there, it can also highlight some special events going on during your stay.
Gemini can even take your interests and preferences into account, so your holiday is tailored to your liking. And if you’re not quite at the itinerary stage yet — Gemini can still assist with finding flights, hotels, and rental cars.
Can Gemini make cooking dinner easier?
You want to make a delicious meal, but you’ve realised you’re missing a few ingredients. Yeah, it can be super frustrating. But Gemini can still help you whip up something tasty by suggesting alternative ingredients or finding similar recipes with what you’ve got on your counter.
It can even provide step-by-step cooking instructions with timings and portions so your meal turns out perfectly.
Shopping for a gift with Gemini.
Some family members and friends are a nightmare to buy presents for. And if you don’t know where to start, you can fire up Gemini for some inspiration.
Just tell it what that person’s interests are and what your budget is, and it’ll recommend some thoughtful gift ideas. It could find the perfect prezzie or at least help you narrow down some solid options.
Use Gemini to organise your day.
It can feel pretty overwhelming when you’ve got a day packed with meetings, appointments, and tasks. But you can relieve some of that stress by asking Gemini to organise your schedule. It can suggest ways to optimise your time and even give you a heads up on traffic hotspots so you’re not late to a meeting.
If you’ve got a deadline coming up, Gemini can give you a nudge so you don’t forget. Or if you’ve been out of office for a few hours, it can summarise a long email thread on gmail so you can get up to speed quick.
