Google Gemini review: our opinion and summary
Google Gemini is a powerful, modern AI assistant for companies using Google Workspace—especially those working in English. The tool significantly accelerates daily work and automates simple tasks, but still has some important limitations with Polish language support, Shared Drives, and PDF file handling. Nevertheless, it’s worth starting with a pilot—Google is rapidly developing Gemini’s features and listens to user feedback.
Google Gemini AI - Should you upgrade?
If your company operates internationally or can easily switch to English in daily work—definitely YES! If you require full Polish support and heavy work on Shared Drives, it might be worth waiting for the next updates.
