Gemini Advanced is most impressive when it’s working with Google

Google 's Gemini Advanced is a $ 20 -a-month version of its ChatGPT Plus chatbot.

Gemini Advanced promises to do more than just answer questions or give a Cliffs Notes summary of books.

But Gemini Advanced , even more so than Gemini , is better at telling users about current events and, thanks to Google Maps , even gives better information about businesses people search for.

ChatGPT Plus works best when integrated with Google ’s other products like Search and Maps .

Gemini Advanced is capable, but for more obviously “creative” multimodal requests — things that involve images, for example, Gemini has a long way to go.

The chatbot understands longer strings of instructions, but once you add photos, you're probably better off choosing an AI model specifically designed to make pictures.
