Gemini is Google's AI assistant. It powers AI answers in Search and is built into Workspace (Docs, Gmail) and Android. Like Claude, it is a generative AI tool you chat with.

Its edge is reach: if your work lives in Google's tools, Gemini is right there. It also handles text, images, audio, and video together. The Academy teaches Claude, but it is worth knowing where each tool shines.

Often confused with: Bard, its old name. Google renamed Bard to Gemini in 2024. Gemini is also both the assistant and the model family behind it.
