The premise
Gemini has specific strengths that matter for specific use cases — knowing them informs selection decisions.
What AI does well here
Use Gemini for: very long context (millions of tokens for entire books, codebases, video transcripts)
Use for: multimodal tasks where image, video, audio, and text are mixed in the same prompt
Use for: native Google Workspace integration (Docs, Sheets, Gmail, Drive)
Use for: cost-sensitive use cases at high token volume (Gemini Flash is competitive on price)
What AI cannot do
Win every benchmark — Claude and ChatGPT win some categories
Eliminate Google-ecosystem assumption (Gemini works best in Google's stack)
Replace the need to test on YOUR specific workload
