Model Responses

Perplexity

Response

1. Pricing tier availability

Stored data is INCORRECT.

• All listed plans (Free, Google AI Plus, Google AI Pro, Google AI Ultra, Workspace add-on) have access to the Chat feature, matching availability (✅ across tiers).[5]
• Usage limits differ: Free has standard limits (e.g., Fast 3 Flash general access, Thinking/Pro basic access with frequent changes, 32K token context); Google AI Plus offers higher/expanded limits; Google AI Pro/Ultra provide full/highest limits with advanced models (e.g., 3.1 Pro, extended context); Workspace add-on aligns with full limits in G Suite.[3][5] This partially matches stored limits/notes but updates model details (e.g., Gemini 2.0 Flash → 3 Flash; 2.5 Ultra → 3.1 Pro/Ultra equivalents) and confirms Personal context (Past chats) now on Free.[1][5]
• Change: Model names and Free tier now explicitly includes Personal context (Past chats) + Personal Intelligence, previously subscriber-only.[1][5]

2. Platform/surface availability

Stored data is INCORRECT.

• Windows/macOS/Linux: ❌ (no native apps, web use) – matches.
• iOS/Android: ✅ (apps) – matches.
• Chrome: Now ✅ (Gemini side panel in Chrome for tasks like auto-browse, Nano Banana; previously required dedicated tab).[3][4] Stored as ❌.
• web: ✅ (gemini.google.com) – matches.
• terminal: ❌ – matches (no evidence).
• API: ✅ (Google AI Studio/Gemini API) – matches.
• Change: Chrome availability added in January 2026.[3][4]

3. Current status

Stored data is CORRECT.

• Status is GA (generally available) across Free, paid tiers, web, mobile, API, and expanding Workspace integrations (rolling out fully by late March 2026).[1][2][5] No beta/preview/deprecated indicators.[2]

4. Access gating

Stored data is CORRECT.

• Gating is "free" (available to non-paying users, optional toggles for features like Past chats).[1][5]

5. Regional availability

Stored data is PARTIALLY INCORRECT (no explicit stored regional info provided beyond "Available in 230+ countries...").

• Globally available in most regions on web/mobile, but Europe delayed for Past Chats/Personal context due to data regulations.[1] Age/regional restrictions apply in some markets, aligning with stored note but adding EU exception.[1]

6. Official URL

Stored data lacks official URL; verification confirms gemini.google.com as active primary access point for Chat (web/app).[1]

• Official pages: blog.google/products/gemini (updates),[4] support.google.com/gemini (chat history troubleshooting).[7] All active.

7. Recent changes

Changes detected in last 30 days (late Feb–mid-Mar 2026):

• Workspace conversation history rollout: Admin controls (Feb 25), end-users in Alpha/Labs/Pro/Ultra (Mar 3), all Workspace (no sooner than Mar 17).[2]
• No core Chat deprecations; enhancements like Personal Intelligence expansions from Jan 2026 carrying forward.[3][4][5]
• Stored data misses Chrome integration (Jan 2026) and Workspace timeline.[2][3] "No change detected" does not apply.
