Today I saw Gemini first time under my google apps and I thought to give it a try.

What is Gemini?

As per definition under gemini FAQs

Gemini gives you direct access to Google AI. Get help with writing, planning, learning and more.

How it is different from Google Search?

First question that came to my mind was: How it is different from google search?

To check this difference I tried my task of today with the help of Gemini.

Get client-id and client-secret for using google oauth in springboot application

I tried above task with Gemini and in google search.

Response with Gemini:

I performed above steps and these are to the point and does it job.

Response with Google Search:

As per above responses, Gemini seems to provide more concrete steps by consolidating from resources based on our prompt. Whereas google search is just doing search (Thats what it is supposed to do.) and showing many resources around the web.

You have to go through them and identify steps for your solution which can be time consuming.

Conclusion :

Gemini can help you to save time for many things by providing direct answers/ steps for a problem. while this is good in most of day to day scenario, but if you are some research and need to explore more opinions then google search is still valid.
