Which one should you pick?
Claude
The default pick when the task involves long documents or code that spans many files. For short throwaway questions the difference from other assistants is not worth thinking about.
- Reviewing or drafting long documents
- Working across a large codebase
- Tasks where output quality matters more than response speed
Gemini
The obvious choice if your work already lives in Google Workspace — the integration saves more time than any difference in raw model quality. Outside that ecosystem the advantage largely disappears.
- Teams already on Google Workspace
- Questions that need current information from the web
