When ChatGPT was launched, I jumped on the bandwagon right away. I’ve been using it ever since but have recently decided to switch to Gemini for a few reasons. First, I enjoy trying out new things, just to see what the competition offers. But more importantly, Gemini’s extensions promised seamless integration with Google’s ecosystem, which showed hopes of simplifying my workflow and saving me time. Or so I thought.
Gemini extensions: A game changer?
For those of you unaware, Gemini extensions work with Google services like Gmail, Maps, Tasks, and many others. Their strength lies in the ability to save time by allowing me to quickly retrieve specific files from Gmail without a manual search, ask how long the drive is from point A to point B without opening Google Maps, and even pull up music to help me focus without leaving the chatbot’s interface.
