Gemini
General-purpose AI chat assistant with deep integration across Gmail, Calendar, Photos, and Google Workspace
About Gemini
Gemini is Google's answer to the AI chat assistant, and its real edge is reach: it is built into Gmail, Docs, Calendar, Photos, and the rest of Workspace, so it can read your inbox, summarize a document, or pull details from a photo without you leaving Google's ecosystem. Personal Intelligence lets it reason across those sources together, email summaries, smart replies, calendar suggestions, receipt and booking extraction, all from context it already has access to. That reach is also the limit. Gemini answers when you ask and acts mostly by suggesting, adding a calendar event, drafting a reply for you to send, summarizing what is in your inbox. Sistava is built the other way: you hire an AI employee, give it a role, and it works on its own schedule, takes real actions across the tools you connect (not just Google's), and reports back, with approval gates before anything sensitive.

What does Gemini actually do?
Gemini is Google's general chat assistant, built into the Gemini app and layered across Gmail, Docs, Calendar, and Photos. Personal Intelligence connects those sources so it can summarize your inbox, draft a smart reply, or pull a delivery date from a screenshot, all using context Google already has. Sistava's unit of work is different: an AI employee with a role, a schedule, and access to whatever tools your business actually runs on, not just Google's, that works on its own and reports back rather than waiting to be asked.
