▶LMS lesson

The short version

Gemini evolved from Bard (December 2023) and "lives inside the tools you already use"; 2.5 Flash for everyday tasks, 2.5 Pro for reasoning (0:00-0:03).
Upload an image, MP3 or HTML file and ask "summarize" or "what is it"; type @ to call Calendar, Gmail or Docs from the chat (0:03-0:09).
Weaknesses as he sees them: slower reasoning, a robotic creative tone; fixes include Saved info personalisation and Gems (0:09-0:15).

how-to

Gemini "helps you work where your work already lives".

"What are my next five events on calendar" listed his 20 June schedule. Saved info holds standing preferences - his: short, funny, quirky answers in simple terms, explained visually - which then colour every reply. Multimodal uploads (a timeline PNG, a podcast MP3, an HTML infographic) were summarised from one-word prompts.

Do it in this order

01Settings > Apps: enable Gmail, Docs, Calendar (and others).
02In a chat type @ and pick the app; ask naturally.
03Settings > Saved info: describe how you like answers; submit.

Launch date, model selector (2.5 Flash/Pro) and settings placement are June 2025; "slower reasoning than ChatGPT or Claude" is his impression (0:01-0:11).
