In the fast-paced world of marketing and tech, staying ahead means embracing the tools that help you move faster, think smarter, and deliver better. And when it comes to AI, Google has officially entered the chat.
Meet Google Gemini — a new family of generative AI models developed by Google DeepMind and designed to rival tools like ChatGPT. Formerly known as Google Bard, Gemini marks a major leap forward in Google's AI strategy, especially for users already working within the Google Workspace ecosystem.
So, what exactly is it?
Gemini builds on previous models like LaMDA and PaLM 2 and is available in four distinct versions, each built for a specific use case:
- Gemini Ultra – The most advanced model, built for complex problem-solving, coding, and large-scale data analysis. (Rolling out via Bard Advanced.)
- Gemini Pro – A versatile model for general AI tasks, already widely available.
- Gemini Flash – Optimized for speed and low-latency interactions, available through the Gemini API in Google AI Studio.
- Gemini Nano – A lightweight version designed for mobile devices like the Pixel 8 Pro.
These models use powerful natural language processing (NLP) techniques to understand and generate text, making them valuable assets for content creation, analysis, and customer engagement.
In this blog, we’ll explore how Gemini stacks up in the AI space — and what it means for marketers looking to gain a competitive edge.
Google Gemini vs. ChatGPT
So, now that we've compared them, how does Google Gemini stack up to OpenAI's ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is an application of the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) models developed by OpenAI.
It uses these models to create a conversational AI capable of interacting with users in a chat format. While GPT models like GPT-3 and GPT-4 are the underlying technology, ChatGPT only applies this technology to generate human-like dialogue, making it an app rather than a model.
Google Gemini, on the other hand, is a family of language models. Unlike ChatGPT, which focuses primarily on conversational tasks, Google Gemini is designed to boost functionality across the apps in Google's Workspace, offering AI-powered tools and features that improve productivity and user experience.
How Does Google Gemini Work?
These Gemini models will be integrated into various Google services, including Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, Google Workspace, and Google smartphones like the Pixel 8 Pro.
Google Gemini will be a clickable tool that allows users to boost functionality through the power of artificial intelligence (AI) features.
How do I Get Google Gemini?
- Computers and Laptops —To get access to Google Gemini, you must first have a Google Workspace account. Sign up if you don’t already have one, and then download Google Gemini. Its models will be automatically integrated into your workspace. Once you have it, just click Digital Assistant to open up Gemini and simply type your prompt into the pop-up text box provided.
- Pixel 8 Pro — Pixel 8 Pro users can access Gemini Nano by going to the settings on their phone, enabling AiCore, and turning on Smart Replies in the Gboard settings. This will enable Gemini’s features, allowing you to use it for things like smart replies and audio summarization.

This deeper understanding makes Gemini useful for helping you identify the keywords and phrases that will make your content more likely to rank higher in search results. Just provide Gemini with your target keywords and the context of your content, and it can generate suggestions for additional relevant keywords and phrases to optimize your content and boost your SEO performance.
Here are other ways Google Gemini can help you with SEO:

Best Practices for Using Generative AI in Marketing Campaigns
As with using any type of artificial intelligence in your marketing campaigns, there are some considerations you should take:
- Data Privacy — Always prioritize the protection of customer data and keep privacy regulations in mind to keep your customers safe and build and maintain trust.
- Maintain Brand Voice Consistency — Give any AI-generated content a once-over to make sure that it reflects your brand’s unique tone and message.
- Continuous Monitoring and Refinement — Regularly review and fine-tune any AI-generated content to make sure it’s on-brand, consistent, and effectively engaging your audience.
- Ethical Use — Use AI responsibly and avoid creating or distributing content that is misleading, incorrect, or harmful.
And, as always, we want to remind you that, as useful as generative AI tools like Google Gemini are, they can’t (and shouldn’t) be used to completely replace your writing staff.
While AI can be a convenient tool, it’s best used to complement your writers because it’s human writers with human intelligence who truly understand your audience and can create the compelling narratives you need to elevate your brand.
