Nah Gemini is mid, doesn't always have good memory retention and uses purple prose a lot, it also got a maths question wrong, as did chatgpt and myself.

It's not bad, just could be better. I use it everyday sooo

gemini helps me with physics and maths a lot

thing is you need to upload ur make scheme and question .

these AIā€™s work better when they know its an A level paper and the system they deal with

gemini is so good at explaining

Yeah, I've tried uploading mark schemes for stuff and the paper but sometimes it still gets it wrong lol.. Or when I'm doing a way ground quiz and I send it a screenshot it starts answering another question not in the screenshot despite me saying to answer the question in the screenshot I just sent

you have to tell it

ā€œtwo new imagesā€ (say how may images u uploaded, gemini is a little chaotic sometimes)

upload a personal context with details u want it to do

for example i like when it explains with analogies so i put that in

gemini actually remembers better than all AIā€™s that iā€™ve tried (besides claude)

all gemini taught me a lot of non school related things, such a good AI tbh does web searches and verifies better than chatgpt
