Gemini is Great for Schools

Rating: 10 out of 10

November 10, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I work at a school and Gemini is used extensively to various different purposes. As we have Google Workspace accounts, data used in the model is not used for further training so we are able to provide it with data that we would not be able to with a public version. We use Gemini for data analysis, lesson planning, student assessment and more.

Pros

Quick data analysis
Transcription of handwriting or audio
Feature finding

Cons

Speed of processing (on pro model)
Accuracy of answers (on flash model)
Veo 3 should be able to use picture prompts when creating videos (without errors)

Likelihood to Recommend

Gemini is fantastic for receiving quick answers to questions where accuracy is not paramount. It is great for brainstorming ideas. It is also fantastic for analysing large swathes of unformatted data and finding correlations. Gemini can also transcribe handwriting and audio files making it excellent for formative assessment. It can also now create Google Slides which is great for lesson planning. Gemini is only as good as the prompts you provide it with though so you must remember to be exact with your prompts to get the best outputs.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Use primarily to generate images for event flyers and advertisements. We use clipart services, but a lot of the time is spent searching through hundreds of images to find one that does most of the things that are needed, then spend more time in Photoshop manipulating them to meet specific needs. Gemini is helping reduce that search/creation time.

Pros

Image generation
Poster copy writing
Altering existing images

Cons

Faces in generated images can be kind of scary looking, deformed.
When asking for specific text in an image, it often generates funky randomly spelled text instead.
Tried a bulk image search with uploaded png files to find the same images online and the links it provided were 404 errors instead.

Likelihood to Recommend

With some practice in crafting prompts, works well for generating cartoons, photos, simulated paintings, etc. for use in posters without requiring too much editing. The resolution however is not especially high, so for high end printwork, it might not be as appropriate. If you need to be sure of copyright, I don't feel confident that it follows all the rules, so if that is important, be sure to research further.

Gemini -- Good backup.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Typically I use Gemini in conjunction with ChatGPT as a source for brainstorming ideas, analyzing data, research, and copywriting help. I've used it to help edit someone else's work, and I use it a lot for social media captions and things like that. Sometimes I've used it for competitor analysis as well.

Pros

It has been pretty good with rewrites and slight edits.
It has been helpful in project management.
It has been helpful with easy writing tasks like social media captions or holiday descriptions.

Cons

I think it can do better with writing -- typically I like ChatGPTs response better.
It was particularly helpful in a competitor analysis.
I like that it doesn't default to as flowery language as ChatGPT.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well-suited for organizing thoughts and research -- not as well-suited for copywriting. Pretty good at brainstorming.

Gemini on the AI podium

Rating: 8 out of 10

November 5, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used ChatGPT Plus as a reference in my previous organization, and Copilot associated with M365 in my current one. In both cases, I complemented their use with Gemini. When dealing with professional matters, you often need to compare information and opinions, especially when the source is AI. In addition to comparing it with scientific literature, traditional internet sources, etc., I usually use other, different AIs. The results are sometimes surprising.

Pros

The new image editing functionality surprised me
In general, file loading is better than in other AI programs
I think it's somewhat faster than other AI programs, or at least that's the impression it usually gives
Features like canvas and deep research are very interesting

Cons

The mobile app sometimes has problems, especially with long conversations; the website, however, doesn't
It's prone to hallucinations during long conversations, and other AIs like ChatGPT simply cut it off, which is also a problem
I've noticed that it tends to contradict itself if you test it or insist on arguments for and against the topic of conversation
I've noticed that it tends to provide more inaccurate information than other AIs; on the other hand, I also think it's the one that has made the most significant improvement recently

Likelihood to Recommend

There are many strong players in the AI field. Overall, I think ChatGPT is the most accomplished, and Copilot has the greatest advantage in terms of market penetration due to its integration with leading productivity tools in the business world (M354, Office, Outlook, etc.). Others like Claude and Mistral also have compelling arguments, but in general, ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini are the most accessible to the public and small and medium-sized businesses, and they will likely dominate the market. I would say that Gemini started out a bit underdeveloped, but it has quickly caught up and is now a major competitor and a benchmark, and it also offers the possibility of integrating with tools from the giant Google.

A Solid Tool and Everyday Workhorse

Rating: 7 out of 10

November 3, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Gemini is used as our backup ai by most team members, after Claude, GPT. Gemini is great for quick computing tasks and quick answers that we need when we don't want to waste our limited usage with other ai tools. We usually have less conversational interactions and more straight problem solving.

Pros

Spreadsheet formulas and modifications of csv files
schema markup
javascript code
meta titles and descriptions for web pages

Cons

Gemini could use improvement feeling more conversational and warm.
I don't like being asked in an A/B test for Gemini to compare two different responses.
Gemini needs more personality

Likelihood to Recommend

It's well suited for quick problem solving and asking questions that have a specific answer. We often use it to ask questions about Google and SEO as all of these things change. It's less appropriate for deep research and conversational transactions. It excels at quick problem solving like math and formulas or small code chunks - but not large ongoing projects.

Reclaim your hard drive with Gemini

Rating: 8 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As Apple continues to put a premium on storage space on its MacBooks, individuals and companies alike are pressured to purchase smaller storage options than they otherwise would have. As a result, several great Mac utilities, such as Gemini and DaisyDisk have cropped up to help users manage the smaller storage on their machines. Gemini helps users solve this problem by identifying duplicate files for users so that they can better organize their file system, while simultaneously eliminating storage-wasting duplicates.

Pros

File De-Duplication - Gemini does a great job of finding files that are bit-for-bit identical to each other. Typically these are caused by user replication, and Gemini sniffs them out and displays them for easy user decisions.
Similar Photo identification - Got a lot of similar photos, but not the exact same one? That's ok, this is a huge source of wasted space, and Gemini can deal with these too. If you're a "spray and pray" type of photographer, Gemini will help you clean up near-duplicate photos, helping you keep only the best.
Fast File Triage - Once Gemini has identified all these duplicates, what do you do with them? Gemini helps you triage the list of duplicates and easily decide which copies to keep. This is handy if you want to keep all files in the X folder, but not in the Y folder.

Cons

With the recent update to macOS Catalina, Gemini hasn't been updated yet. As a result, it requests access to each folder you want to scan for duplicates. Not ideal. It could take an approach like other apps, and ask for full-disk access through privacy settings instead.
Gemini could make a more robust rule system that enables you to select which file to delete based on regular expressions, for instance.
While Gemini helps me identify similar, though not identical photos, it's still up to me to decide which ones are the "best". Perhaps if Gemini did some machine learning on these photos, it could learn which are the best, and help you choose.

Likelihood to Recommend

As I described in the initial use case, Mac storage is a premium, so having a tool that helps your storage stay clean is incredibly useful. Almost always, duplicates are wasted space, so Gemini is a single purpose tool that helps you identify duplicates easily for quick clean up of your Mac's hard drive. Point of fact, it'll help clean up your cloud storage space too, if you select your cloud sync folders on your machine as well!

Gemini Easy to Use!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it to manage our bids in Yahoo for our search terms, keywords, ads, ad groups, and campaigns. This helps us to manage the amount that we spend on our advertising through Yahoo. It is used by the marketing department, within which I work. It helps us manage our bids in a timely and orderly fashion.

Pros

It's extremely easy to search for a keyword, ad group, or campaign.
It's extremely easy to update a bid for a keyword, ad group or campaign.
Both Google & Bing require you to download a program in order to edit our bids. Gemini does not.

Cons

Sometimes when I search for an Ad Group, duplicates appear. But when I go into the Campaign and look for the Ad Group, there is only one.
The line in which it says which Campaign and then Ad Group you are in should be frozen so that it would easier to select the Campaign to go back & then into a different Ad Group.
You can't search for a keyword by its affiliate id. That is extremely frustrating. When I search for a keyword by its name, it brings up all keywords with that name, no matter what match type it has.

Likelihood to Recommend

I would tell them how easy it is to activate or pause a keyword, ad group or campaign. And how easy it is to update a bid for a keyword, ad group or campaign. I would also tell them how easy it is to navigate through Gemini when searching for a keyword in an ad group within a campaign.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Three years ago we implemented Gemini internally to help consolidate and centralize IT projects tracking and management. Also, Gemini helped implement web-based release process management and sign-off process, establish development defects tracking for internal and user-acceptance testing. This solution addressed lack of IT transparency and formal communication.

Pros

Gemini offers flexible framework that allowed IT to build a workflow based process. IT change requests were divided into several buckets: New Change Requests group for business units to submit requests for enhancements and new project ideas, Pending Change Requests for approved projects that are waiting for IT resources, Application Development where we track active projects, Defect Tracking where bugs are tracked during testing and finally Release Management where requests for deployment are tracked.
Gemini allows to create custom fields and add them to View, Edit and Add screens. This flexible model allowed us to track additional information on the project such as IT Point of Contact, System Name, Team Name, Testing dates, etc.
Gemini has flexible email notification model that allows to keep business customers informed on the project progress. Whenever comment is added by project manager email alerts goes out anyone that is set to watch project progress.

Cons

It would be useful for Gemini to offer a mobile-friendly version.
It would be helpful for Gemini to provide more granular control over email notification options. Currently, we cannot turn off update type emails
Gemini could improve homepage design to provide a dashboard for all projects in the system.

Likelihood to Recommend

Gemini is well suited to help track issues and change requests, projects, bugs, time logs, etc. It is less appropriate for reporting needs or general office management needs.
