Gemini
GoogleThe best at handling images, video, and audio — and it lives inside Google Workspace.
Score breakdown
Our verdict
Gemini earns its spot for teams already living in Google Workspace — the integration is close to invisible, and the multimodal handling of mixed video, image, and document input is genuinely ahead of the pack.
Its agentic tooling story is still catching up to Claude and GPT, so we lean on it more for content and analysis workflows than for complex autonomous agent chains.
