The truth is Gemini is a super powerful multimodal AI and it is sure that it feeds from the backend many Google services and functionalities, although for now we have not seen Californians introduce us directly related business applications that are too interesting and give direct prominence to Gemini, perhaps because they still They need time to adapt their operation and offer us more complete AI services.
