In addition to offering an efficient AI, Gemini has a big advantage on Chatgpt. Google indeed offers extensions that allow Gemini’s artificial intelligence to integrate with other applications or services. For example, by binding Gemini to Google Maps, you can ask questions related to routes. Gemini also has YouTube extensions. And thanks to the integration of Google Workspace, you can use Gemini to find letters on Gmail, create notes on Google Keep, etc.
And on Android smartphones, Google develops new extensions that allow you to perform even more tasks using Gemini. In December, for example, the firm began to deploy extensions that allow Gemini to interact with telephone, Google Messages and Whatsapp applications. In other words, instead of going to these apps, you can ask Gemini to call someone or send a text, for example.
How to use Gemini’s calls, text and textos and Whatsapp?

- Then, all you have to do is activate messages, phone and WhatsApp extensions, if they are already available.
- Then come back to the Gemini interface and choose the 2.0 flash model.
- And that’s it, you can either write your prompt or use Gemini’s vocal entry to call a contact, or send texts to Android’s messaging or via WhatsApp.
The advantage of Gemini, compared to Google Assistant, is that he uses a large model of language which is, a priori, more capable of understanding your instructions.
Other useful extensions arrive
And this is only the beginning, since Google also prepares Google Home extensions to control connected home devices, and utility to control certain smartphone features.
Otherwise, the good news, for iPhone users, is that, for its part, Apple also prepares an important update from Siri, via Apple Intelligence. “Even more efficient, Siri will be able to base himself on the personal context of a user to offer him a tailor -made intelligence. Siri will also have the ability to understand information on the screen and carry out hundreds of new actions both in Apple apps and in third -party apps ”explained the firm in December.
