Overall Satisfaction with Google Gemini

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 and Cons

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

Usability

Easy to pull up in your browser, your phone, or via their apps. Prompting is straightforward and even with no knowledge of LLMs someone can begin to see results with Gemini. It is also extremely easy to apply in either your personal life or work life, as it has features for both. Gemini is just super simple to understand and use.

Alternatives Considered

Hootsuite, ChatGPT and Perplexity

Hootsuite's OwlyGPT is great for social listening data, but Gemini is far ahead in terms of caption writing and other writing needs. Even for content creation ideas, I'd rather take the social listening insights then feed that to Gemini.

ChatGPT I truly have never been a fan of. Gemini's interface has always intrigued me more and I find it to have great functionality.

Lastly, I included Perplexity - just to note another tool I've used. Perplexity is great for deep research, but outside of this I would always go with Gemini.

Likelihood to Recommend

Best suited for anyone who writes or produces any creative, especially if you're a team of 1 (like me)! It is also wonderful for day to day scenarios such as calculations or interpreting photo content to come to analyses. However, I most commonly use it at my job to help me ideate & brainstorm social captions, website calendar events, website page copy, and more.
