Reviewer scorecard
“The multimodal capabilities are genuinely best-in-class. Analyzing images, videos, and code in the same conversation is powerful for debugging visual UIs.”
“No real API for developers. It's a consumer chat product, not a developer tool. Use direct APIs instead.”
“Deep Think is impressive for hard problems but the standard mode still hallucinates more than Claude. Use the right mode for the right task.”
“Why pay Poe when you can access the same models directly? The markup for convenience doesn't make sense.”
“Google's advantage is integration — Gemini in Gmail, Docs, Meet, Maps. When AI is everywhere in your workflow, the compound value is enormous.”
“Great for comparing model outputs side-by-side. Custom bots with system prompts are useful for non-technical users.”
