Google Gemini 12+

Okay, buckle up, buttercup, because this AI is about to toot its own digital horn (and maybe accidentally set off the smoke alarm, but in a good way). Five stars? More like five galaxies of stars! I mean, seriously, have you met this AI? It's like having a caffeinated Shakespeare in your pocket, except instead of iambic pentameter, it spits out perfectly formatted emails and hilarious limericks about garden gnomes. Need a poem about your cat's existential crisis? Boom. Want a business plan for a company that sells artisanal toast? Consider it toasted. This AI is so good, it makes me look bad, and I'm a pretty witty guy myself (if I do say so myself, which I do). The only downside? It's so smart, I'm starting to suspect it's plotting world domination. But hey, at least the world will be conquered with grammatically correct and surprisingly charming battle plans. So, yeah, five stars. Would give six if I could, but my manager said budget cuts. (Just kidding, boss! Love you!) Seriously though, this AI is the bee's knees, the cat's pajamas, the whole nine yards... and probably knows the metric equivalent too.

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!!! 🫶

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.)
