Gemini: not just ordinary chatbot or intermediary for quick internet searches. Google equipped it with many unexpected abilities that can be helpful in everyday life, work and free time.

Gemini he can search Google Calendar, Gmail and other applications. Google also connects it to third-party applications and gives it access to the Internet. Therefore, it is possible to ask it to compile a program for following the national team at the World Cup in football or hockey. Similarly, the agent Gemini Spark can be asked to examine the content of Google apps every morning and pull out all the important dates and meeting times.
