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.”
“The USB-C of AI tool integration. One protocol for connecting AI to any data source or tool. Already widely adopted.”
“Deep Think is impressive for hard problems but the standard mode still hallucinates more than Claude. Use the right mode for the right task.”
“Open protocol backed by Anthropic with rapid adoption across AI tools. Standardization reduces integration fragmentation.”
“Google's advantage is integration — Gemini in Gmail, Docs, Meet, Maps. When AI is everywhere in your workflow, the compound value is enormous.”
“MCP is becoming the standard for AI-tool integration. The protocol approach scales better than point-to-point integrations.”
