Remember when Google was just a search engine? Well, those days are long gone. Now, they’ve got a new AI toy called Google Gemini, and it’s pretty darn impressive. Think of it as a super-smart robot assistant, but one that lives in the cloud.

- Writing Wizard: Need to write an email, a blog post, or even a novel? Gemini can help you write it faster and better.
- Coding Companion: If you’re a developer, Gemini can help you write code, debug it, and even explain complex algorithms.
