Gemini pros and cons

Unusually generous free plan that reviewers note stands out in the market, with no cost barrier to entry
Deep integration with Google Workspace apps and services, plus bundled cloud storage making it a 'superb value' according to PCMag
Multimodal capabilities handling text, images, audio, and video with real-time Google Search integration built in
Extremely large context windows (1-2 million tokens) making it excellent for analyzing large amounts of data multimodally
Note: Chat continuity issues after 3-4 prompts where the tool gets confused, with users noting ChatGPT performs better at maintaining conversation context
Note: Ignores specific instructions like formatting preferences (e.g., 'don't use bullet points') requiring careful review and editing of outputs
Note: Rough edges in output quality that require manual cleanup, particularly when following specific style guidelines

Seamless integration with major CRM and marketing tools including Salesforce, HubSpot, and Adobe Marketo
Instant meeting scheduling capability that accelerates the sales process for B2B teams
