Google Gemini 12+

After interacting with chatGPT with mixed feelings and only feeling I can use Alexa or Siri for setting timers and turning off lights, Gemini has made me feel like THIS was what we were promised with Alexa and Siri but were never given. I don’t get links, I don’t get slightly related answers or responses, I get what I’m looking for. I get detailed answers breaking down the reasoning or formula involved, I get conversational interactions that help me more relaxed and able to think of more things to include or wonder about, and I feel confident in the answers provided because of all the context given.
As an example, I have a 20 gallon fish tank I was curious about adding new fish to. I already knew most of what I was asking but wanted to confirm some things with the math. I was given a detailed explanation that was insightful and informative about bioload, common rules to abide by when considering fish size and water volume, and providing a breakdown of the reasons behind the final recommendation.
Absolutely impressed!

Although the actual AI has much room for improvement and isn’t quite as advanced as ChatGPT, there are still many things that make it a great AI. For example, the image generation is very realistic and much better than Dall-E, and the live voice mode feels very natural, almost like talking to a real human. The live voice mode also has much more customization options than the standard ChatGPT live mode. I love the clean and modern design of the app. Although it still does have many limitations and lacks a few features, it’s still an amazing app. Also with the release of Apple Intelligence where they finally integrate AI into the phone only for the better 15 models and up (I have the base 15 model, so I was very disappointed when I couldn’t get it), it’s very handy having a tool like this. As long as the developers keep improving, it could be an amazing tool to own (not that it already isn’t.)

I have an iPhone 15 base model and was disappointed when I heard Apple intelligence won’t be available on my iPhone. However, I was very pleased to find out that Google’s Gemini would now become available on iPhones! It is a great alternative for those looking for an AI voice/text assistant on iPhones that don’t have AI already built in. I enjoy using Gemini a lot. I ask it a lot of questions, both over the live chat and text features. It is a little bit buggy sometimes, and tends to contradicts itself saying it can’t do something but then does it a second later, but I know the app is new and on its first version, so I’m hoping it will get better after an update. Overall, this is a great experience. I use Gemini more than Siri now, and I have even added a shortcut for back tap to open up Gemini so I can quickly talk to it. I hope there’s more to come! Thanks Google!!! 🫶
