Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a non native English speaker, I use Gemini on a daily basis, I use it to review my communication with customers to ensure grammar and relevance, I use it to rephrase communication with customers to make sure our responses remain relevant but also don't tire our customers with the same responses over and over, I also use it to guide my communication with leadership and I even bounce the an idea on it to help me ground it, as often I think of improvements we could have on our tooling but I ask Gemini to scope it and check for availability before running it with the Eng team.

Pros

  • rephrasing comms
  • interpreting results
  • correcting SQL queries
  • coaching on ideas

Cons

  • I would like it to put together similar topics of questions I've asked so it can learn them separatedly

Return on Investment

  • It has allowed me to reduce time of response by 30%
  • It's reduced the time I take to create a correct query

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)

Return on Investment

  • Saves administrators time on data analysis
  • Saves teacher time on lesson planning and assessment
  • Allows for bespoke per student feedback

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

Return on Investment

  • It's sped up some workflows
  • It's provided not accurate information sometimes
  • It's a great tool when used in the GSuite with sheets and other drive functions

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it for predominantly content creation, copywriting, and for general brainstorming. As a team of one, it can be hard to come up with all your own ideas - which is where Gemini comes in for me. It makes me feel slightly less lonely and helps me bounce ideas with myself.

Pros

  • Planning
  • Prompting and remembering conversations
  • Explaining itself
  • Ease of use
  • Excellent free plan

Cons

  • Image generation can be buggy
  • Video creation is locked behind logging in

Return on Investment

  • Free way to gain another team member
  • Helps me be more efficient and overcome blocks in my workflow
  • Speeds up my ability to update our website's calendar by easily double if not more
  • Allows me to dabble in areas that I have no expertise in such as coding
