Google Gemini: pricing, free plan, features & alternatives (2026)

What is Google Gemini?

Google Gemini is an AI assistant you talk to in a chat. It answers questions, helps you write and edit text, translates, summarizes material and supports creative work and learning.

Type a request in the field at the bottom of the screen, optionally attach a file or an image, and Gemini prepares a reply. That makes it quick to draft an email, plan a trip, explain a difficult topic or analyze a document.
