For a technology that’s all about giving people answers, many still wonder - “What is Gemini?” “What can it do?” and “Is Gemini Advanced worth the upgrade?”-So we thought we’d run through the features of both, and how they can help you navigate life more easily.

There’s never been a more exciting time to buy a Pixel phone. Here’s a synopsis of Gemini and Gemini Advanced.
Whether you buy a
Gemini is your built-in AI assistant. However fast you move through your day, Gemini can help by:
Finding answers and info from all kinds of sources: Google apps, images, text input, audio, or even something you’re seeing on your screen or in real life. For instance, you can take a photo of your veggie drawer and ask, “What can I make with these ingredients?” Gemini will get you answers, fast.
Get a little inspiration. Need a brainstorming partner or help planning something? Gemini only needs a prompt to get started. Ask something like, “Help me plan a date night – find a sushi restaurant open this Friday at 8pm,” then follow up with “Find me a dessert spot within walking distance.” (Hint: The more details, the better the results.)
Bring your imagination to life. Completely different but just as awesome: You can generate an image with Gemini just by typing in your idea. Dream big, then easily drop it into Google Messages or Gmail to share.2
Summarising things for you. Long articles, a bloated inbox – who has time for all that? Well, Gemini does, and it can outline the important bits in just a few moments. For example: “Summarise all the emails from the kids’ school and tell me what I need to know and do.” Gemini will provide an overview of your inbox and highlight where you might need to respond.

Respond to emails faster with Gemini in Gmail.
No more struggling to write the perfect response on a small screen – Gemini can craft contextual smart replies to offer longer, more detailed suggestions with one tap. This feature is available through the Google One AI Premium plan for both desktop and Pixel.3
Power through complex projects.
Because Gemini Advanced comes with a massive one million token context window, it’s better equipped to get the answers you need, faster.
Think of a context window a bit like focus, but for AI. The more you have, the more information you can keep in mind when considering a question or problem. It’s the same for Gemini – the bigger the context window, the more information it can use to get you the answers you need.
And with Gemini Advanced’s one million token context window, it can explore, understand, analyse, and summarise large data sets from documents and spreadsheets up to 1,500 pages – saving you hours of time and effort.
