Support team is available and answers all the questions and it is also free which is good for personal projects
The very first thing that I really like about it is the support team. They're really available on Discord, and they answer all of your questions. I think it's free for personal projects unless you want to go to production. I haven't really used it that much, but the features that I have used so far, I have no issues with them.
Luís Silva - PeerSpot reviewer
Tool proves competitive with cost-effectiveness and speed while benefiting decision-making and integration capabilities, but shows room for enhancing creativity and handling large data contextually
There is another benefit in that Google Gemini is highly competitive from a cost perspective. The cost per token is very competitive. It's not the best - the Chinese models such as DeepSeek are better, but I can't use them. From a cost perspective, between European and United States options, Google Gemini is very competitive. It's not only its cost, it's also very performing. The time it takes to process the prompts and context information is very fast. It's one of the fastest models in the market. That's another advantage. There are other models which are also very good in quality but not as fast, such as Anthropic Claude. Google Gemini currently has a very good balance. The AI capabilities of Google Gemini are a multi-modal LLM which allows me to pass documents, images, and texts in the same prompt. Being multi-modal makes my life easier. I don't have to translate information before I can work with it. Google provides free tools to test scenarios, which speeds up development and reduces costs. It's a very fast and accurate model with quality responses.

Pros

"The very first thing that I really like about it is the support team. They're really available on Discord, and they answer all of your questions."
"The best features for my use cases with Google Gemini are its dynamic LLM model that can perform dynamic searches, which is wonderful for factual searches to understand numbers and to generate real-time answers."
"It is like having an expert at my fingertips for those out-of-scope queries."
"Google Gemini uses all the data that Google has produced."
"The most beneficial aspect of Google Gemini for me is that it's able to do searches much better."
"Google Gemini has the best combination of scalability, costs, performance, and accuracy."
"I have seen many cases of reduced costs and working hours."
"Recently, Google Gemini has been very stable, without performance issues, even handling network problems smoothly with a retry."
"The most valuable feature of Google Gemini for us is its text writing capabilities, which we are using for writing texts and social media posts for our company's social media page."
 

Cons

"Cohere has text generation. I think it is mainly focused on AI search. If there was a way to combine the searches with images, I think it would be nice to include that."
"Currently, it operates mostly autonomously, and while it provides structured activities, making the research configuration more accessible and flexible would be beneficial."
"There are scalability issues, and they are all related to what you can do within that context window of a million tokens."
"Google Gemini could improve its functionalities compared to other tools like ChatGPT, especially in the customization options, Canvas mode, and web search tools, which aren't as advanced."
"I conducted some research using Google Gemini, and sometimes the results are not correct. For example, when I asked for information about marketing and inquired about the sources used, the sources were not relevant or had no relation to the subject I was researching."
"The binning process could be more intuitive, especially when grouping data into categories like age groups."
"When I have reached out to Google Support, it's been very limiting. I would rate Google at about a five."
"I do not have a special recommendation for improvement."
"Google can improve in model justification and interpretability of answers."
