AI Platforms & Tools

What is Gemini?

Gemini is Google's multimodal AI assistant—capable of processing text, images, video, and audio natively—with the largest context window (up to 2M tokens) and deep Google Workspace integration.

Understanding Gemini

Gemini (formerly Bard) represents Google's major push into AI assistants. What sets it apart is its native multimodal design—unlike ChatGPT and Claude which added image capabilities later, Gemini was built from the start to understand multiple types of media simultaneously.

For real estate agents, Gemini's killer feature is its ability to process video and audio. Upload a property walkthrough video, and Gemini can describe each room, identify features, and even create listing descriptions based on what it sees. No other mainstream AI does this as well.
