Frequently asked questions

What is Gemini best at?+

Gemini performs best on research-heavy tasks that benefit from grounded, up-to-date information via Google Search integration. It is also strong at multimodal tasks where you need to analyze images, documents, or mixed inputs alongside text. For factual accuracy and citing sources on current topics, Gemini is one of the top choices.

How do I write a good Gemini prompt?+

Gemini responds well to prompts that specify a structured output format and ask it to ground claims in specific facts or sources. Because of its search grounding capability, prompts that ask for current information work especially well. Ask it to flag uncertainty explicitly rather than letting it fill gaps with assumptions.

What version of Gemini do these prompts work with?+

All prompts on this page are designed to work with Gemini 2.0 and later models, including Gemini Flash and Gemini Pro tiers. Prompts that involve real-time research benefit from Gemini models with Google Search grounding enabled. If research outputs are not citing sources, check that grounding is turned on in your Gemini settings.

How does Gemini compare to ChatGPT for research?+

Gemini has a structural advantage for research tasks because of its native Google Search integration, which allows it to ground answers in current information rather than relying solely on training data.
