## Overview

Gemini is Google’s multimodal AI assistant for questions, summaries and analysis grounded in text, images and uploaded files. Spreadsheets can be analyzed and charted, while Canvas provides a workspace for creating and editing documents, code and apps. It connects understanding source material with writing or prototyping, using follow-up prompts or direct edits to refine the result.

## Usage guide & costs

### Useful for

Useful for questions about documents, spreadsheets and code. The web app can create and revise spreadsheet charts and import code folders or GitHub repositories as context.

### Suggested workflow

Upload only relevant files, then specify fields, comparisons or charts. Very large inputs can lose cross-file details; split them into smaller batches and verify the results.

Uploads require sign-in, allow up to ten files per prompt subject to availability, and have rolling and size limits. Work/school Drive access requires administrator-enabled apps.
