GoogleWeb · iOS · Android · Workspace

Very long context and deep Google Workspace integration

Good for

  • Teams already on Gmail / Docs / Drive
  • Feeding extremely long documents in one go
  • Multimodal input (image, video, audio)

Not for

  • Non-Google users who only want high-craft plain-text writing

We deliberately put “not for” on the same screen — a review that only lists strengths carries no information.
