I evaluated several AI platforms including ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Perplexity, and open-source models before integrating Gemini into my workflow. Here's why Gemini stood out:
Multimodal Excellence: Gemini's ability to seamlessly handle text, images, video, and code in a single conversation is unmatched. This versatility is crucial for real-world applications.
Massive Context Window: The 2 million token context window is a game-changer for working with large documents, codebases, and complex projects. This far exceeds what most competitors offer.
Google Ecosystem Integration: Native integration with Google Workspace, Search, and other Google services provides practical advantages for productivity that standalone AI assistants can't match.
Cost-Effectiveness: Gemini offers competitive pricing, especially considering the large context window and multimodal capabilities. The free tier is generous for personal use.
Performance & Speed: Response times are consistently fast, and the quality of outputs rivals or exceeds competitors for most tasks.
Continuous Improvement: Google's rapid iteration and improvements show strong commitment to the platform's development.
While competitors have strengths, Gemini's combination of multimodal capabilities, massive context, and Google integration makes it uniquely valuable.

Hi everyone!
I've been waiting for this one.
Among all the "deep research" features out there, Gemini's implementation has consistently been my #1 recommendation and the only one I use long-term. Now, every developer can embed this capability via the new Interactions API.
This agent goes beyond simple queries. Instead of just searching, the system autonomously plans, reads results, identifies knowledge gaps, and iterates on the fly. You get support for long-running background tasks that synthesize massive amounts of info into detailed reports, with full control over the output structure via prompting.
This is perfect for meeting assistants and productivity tools. I can't wait to add this to @Flowtica Scribe to automate background research :))
Kudos!

Gemini is by far one of my favorite models out there! I use it often and even implemented Gemini into my own project. I am definitely checking this one out here soon as well.

What is the price for the API? I can't find it

@daniel_d7 See here. It seems to match Gemini 3.0 Pro pricing. Hard to estimate the exact cost per task given the multi-step workflow, but the good news is that Google Search tool calls are free until Jan 5, 2026, which should offset part of the cost these days.
This looks very powerful for long-form research. A feature showing which sources were most influential in the final output would add transparency.
Hey there,
As someone who works with mood boards, floor plans, and client notes all day, the idea of a single tool that can genuinely understand and connect text, images, and sketches is incredibly promising. If Gemini works as described, it could help me quickly pull themes from a pile of inspiration photos or summarize a lengthy client brief into clear visual directives. Having that kind of multimodal analysis in one place would cut down on a lot of manual cross-referencing. I'm cautiously optimistic to see if it can handle the nuance of subjective taste, or if it'll just suggest gray everything. The potential here is massive.
Really impressed with the Gemini Deep Research Agent capabilities. The autonomous planning and multi-step synthesis is a huge unlock for research workflows. Key question though - how does it handle proprietary datasets or domain-specific knowledge that need fine-tuning? That's where most enterprise buyers get stuck. Would love to see integration patterns for custom knowledge bases!
I just had Gemini deep research perform some market sizing research and run a bottom-up calculation. Genuinely impressed by the results. It reasoned well, found solid sources and explained the calculation and future outlook well. Excited to use this product more often!
Nice to see Gemini pushing deeper into autonomous research workflows. Making this available via an API for developers feels like the right move, especially for multi-step research use cases.
Curious to see how teams start building on top of this.
