I'm not a big fan of Google, but it would be awesome if I could use Gemini to learn Spanish faster 😁

They actually have a product for this: https://labs.google/lll/en

Awesome 🤩 thanks!

Another thing I do (I’m also learning Spanish haha) is I scheduled a task so every evening at 8 PM I get a new conversation topic in Spanish and can just chat with Gemini about it. It's more advanced, let's say, but I think you learn faster this way.

Gemini has been my favorite from the beginning. I have been using the tools regularly. But Your guide is very comprehensive. Thank you for the same.

Glad it's useful even for someone like you already deep into Gemini!

Gemini stands out when you use its full stack, tools, research, and multimodal capabilities together

Yup, all inside the gigantic Google ecosystem

The real edge comes from knowing where each tool shines and combining them into a workflow that plays to their strengths

Couldn't agree more!

Related to the subscription, if you use VSCode, there's a Gemini extension which enables chatting, working with your data and coding, which is covered by the same subscription, at least if you are on the Google One AI Pro plan. That's pretty neat as it opens up a workflow similar to Claude Cowork or Claude Code, without a need for more subscriptions.

Love that addition! and Google has so many AI products included in the subscription anyway, it's hard to beat the value. The storage alone is a pretty big deal since it works across all Google products and you don't need to pay for it separately. Before I upgraded to Pro, I was paying for storage on its own 😅

Do you know if the video analyzing taps out at a certain length?

There might be a limit in the Gemini app, but when using the Gemini API (and pay for spending and usage) there shouldn't be any limits.

Google arbitrarily changes things and breaks stuff. Annoying inside a business workspace.

NotebookLM is next level for knowledge synthesis. It helped me pass two biblically-difficult certification exams in the last 6 months.

There is one "gotcha" that I'm trying to figure out how to deal with. I started paying for Gemini via Google Workspace (because my domain email is hosted there and has been for years) and ironically Workspace users have _fewer_ features than "regular" paid Gemini users. At the time I started paying a year ago, the cost-benefit was solidly on the Workspace version. Now it's a different story.
