Google Gemini – Tips and Tricks for Using the High Model

Google has announced that Google Gemini replaces Google Bard. But what can you do with Google Gemini? Here are some tips and tricks that will help you understand and harness the most advanced LLM (Large Language Model) from Google to your advantage.

What Makes Google Gemini Unique?

Google Gemini distinguishes itself from earlier generative AI models by its ability to be a fundamentally multi-modal model. Instead of feeding text to converse with the AI, you can send other formats like images, audio, and video. It can analyze vast amounts of data in less time than any model released so far.

Currently, the version that is mostly accessible is Gemini Pro. Gemini Pro can be more powerful than GPT-3.5, but it is still surpassed by GPT-4 (according to academic tests used to score LLMs). The promise comes from Gemini Ultra (accessed through registration for the Gemini Advanced subscription), which can outperform GPT-4. No matter which Gemini you have, it can help you with the following tasks.

Practical Uses of Gemini

Analyzing YouTube Videos

There are many great YouTube videos, but we don’t always have time to watch them all or understand if the video content is what we expected. This is where Gemini comes in. Gemini has a YouTube Vision feature, and by using the @YouTube command during a conversation with Gemini, you can ask it to analyze the content of a video. Here’s how it works:

1. Open Google Gemini through the official mobile app or access Google Gemini on a web browser.
2. In the prompt box, type @YouTube and enter the video link.
3. By default, Gemini will summarize the video, and you can ask it questions about the video.

So next time you’re not sure if the video is right for you or you just want the key points, use this shortcut and hit the road.

Conversing with Gemini Using Images

Gemini can generate various types of outputs, including images. Smart writing these lines, it cannot create images of people (Google has paused this feature until it can enhance AI’s ability to describe people in images), but this is also expected to be released soon.

Despite this limitation, you can do a lot with Gemini’s image generator and built-in identification tools. You can request to generate an image from text or upload an image and ask relevant questions about it, like which style the selected image is, and then create images in the same style afterward. Here’s how it works:

1. Access Google Gemini through the mobile app or Google Gemini on a web browser.
2. Select the image icon in the prompt box.
3. Upload an image.
4. Enter a question in the prompt box and submit it.

From analyzing images to creative ideas for images and new creations, Google Gemini can be a great assistant.

Gemini Helps with Coding – Everyone is Welcome

Whether you’ve been coding for years or want to start, you can use Gemini to check a line of code or create one.

1. Open Google Gemini through the official mobile app or access Google Gemini on a web browser.
2. Enter the code line into Google or ask it to write one for you, specifying the purpose. Also, indicate the relevant language.
3. Receive your code. It’s always worth checking with Gemini if it can optimize the proposed code.
4. Check the code and continue to request adjustments as needed.

We used these capabilities to create a simple application from scratch that can find information and improve its structure. The experiment was with basic code understanding but without experience in writing such. The tool is great for code checking and creating very simple applications for those with basic coding knowledge.

Double Power – Combine Google Sheets with Gemini

Whether you want to organize data in a table or extract complex information from a Google Sheets document, Gemini will easily assist you with that.

1. Open Google Gemini through the official mobile app or access Google Gemini on a web browser.
2. Describe in simple words in the prompt box what you want to do.
3. At the bottom, choose Export to Sheet if you want to receive the information in that format.

Use Gemini to Tailor Texts to the Tone and Style You Want

Whether you want to turn an academic article into a short summary at a glance or a beautiful text you saw into a love poem in your tone, Gemini is here to help.

1. Open Google Gemini through the official mobile app or access Google Gemini on a web browser.
2. Enter the desired text or link in the prompt box and describe in simple words what you want to do with the text.
3. Open Google Gemini through the official mobile app or access Google Gemini on a web browser.

All these capabilities are available in the free version of Gemini, and if you feel ready to commit to a long-term relationship, it’s worth checking out the Advanced version. It may be paid, but the results are significantly more accurate.

Good luck!
