In the comments under my last video, things got heated. I was simultaneously labeled a ChatGPT hater and a Google company ambassador. But neither of those is true. Honestly, I don't care about labels or brands. The most important thing for me is that the tool solves my task. I used ChatGPT, so why would I go back? I don't see any reason to do so. What could ChatGPT offer me that would make me voluntarily give up integration with calendar, maps, documents, and notes? And that's just the beginning. We all remember the news about the Gemini and Apple collaboration. So today, with just a couple of examples, I'll try to show why just a chat, even though it's very smart, very convenient, and very cool, loses in my case to a system where everything is interconnected and at hand. Let's get started.
So, in the first example, I'll show you how I use a combination of tools like Google Keep, yes, Google Notes, a to-do list, and Google Calendar. The thing is, lately I've been liking this approach to tasks. I write down everything that comes to my mind in notes. That is, I can write, I'm just saying something, and when I'm drinking coffee and lying on the couch, or when I'm working, as soon as any idea comes to me, I immediately write it down in notes. In general, I use it as a kind of inbox, and I have everything that comes in here, everything that is generated in my head throughout the day. But notes, yes, notes, you'll say. But the thing is, Gemini sees the notes directly from the chat. Yes, that is, I can directly refer to the notes, yes, through the "@" symbol or just write it out in words, yes, dictate it. So, "look in my notes," and it will understand what I want from it. So, you understand why I'm doing this at all? Uh, so that I don't say several sentences like this, send them to it, it thinks, it answers me something there, and I can dictate all my thoughts for this video in notes, and then show them to it once. That's if you ask why I don't say it directly in the chat. In the case of notes, Gemini works in both directions. It can look into notes, and it can also write into notes. It works exactly the same way with the Tasks tool. There's a tool in the Google ecosystem called Tasks. That is, you can create your tasks here, set dates and times for them, and then mark them as completed or not completed. And as soon as a task appears here in the lists that also has a date, this same task automatically goes into Google Calendar as well.
Here I also want to quickly note and emphasize that all this works without any apps or anything. You're just logged in under one account, and that's it, and it all works on the fly. That is, everything sees each other. And as soon as I make any changes on my computer or mobile phone, all the applications immediately see it. And to make it clearer and more visual, let me demonstrate how I use it with a new example. For instance, during the day, I've formed this list of tasks. That is, every time I remembered something, I took out my phone, quickly pressed the plus sign, and just dictated. I don't know, let's say, "start a second Telegram channel on Sunday after twelve," "wash the car on Monday morning at seven o'clock," "take son to the doctor," "come up with a title for the new video." We see that this note immediately appeared in the notes on the laptop. Now, look what I can do from the Gemini window with this note. I can ask it, "Find the note where I talk about the second Telegram channel and something else, and take the information from there and make a to-do list out of it, and show it to me." As you can see, it went into the notes, found my note that I mentioned with just one word about the second Telegram channel, and extracted everything it could find. It formed it into a list. And now, for example, I can ask it to do this: "Add the task 'wash the car' and 'take son to the doctor' to the to-do list." As you can see, for certainty, it asks me again, it offers me to create these items, yes, already in the Google Tasks program. "Wash the car," it will now add with these dates, with these times. It will add these events to Tasks. I just reply, "Yes, okay, all done." It writes "Good" at the bottom. We go into Tasks and look. Today, tomorrow. So, as you can see, tomorrow at twelve o'clock, "wash the car," and on Monday, February 2nd, "take son to the doctor." Well, and if we go to the calendar, I can see "wash the car." If I click here, "task completed," for example. So, if I go back to Tasks, it's already disappeared here. That is, tomorrow I no longer have this task. And it works the same way in the other direction. That is, for example, from the chat window, I can access the calendar, and I can ask, "Check if I'm free between six and eight in the morning on Monday." And here it answers me. The only thing is that it doesn't quite answer correctly, right? So, it says "no events," but at seven in the morning, it says "take son to the doctor," right? So, it contradicts itself. Thus, in this connection, I can add, delete tasks, look into notes, create tasks, look into the calendar, based on what's in my calendar, make notes, in general, move between these three tools and do essentially anything I want. And it analyzes the information itself, checks the time, checks the information in the notes, compares it all, just like a real personal assistant. Honestly, before the advent of neural networks, before Gemini, I didn't even know that Google had such a tool as a to-do list. But it turns out it can write. Yes, that adds hands to it, so to speak, "hands," as I call them. There aren't that many of them, right? Because it can get information from many sources, from email, from the internet, from here and there. But to write, to save, these tools are still few, right? Initially, I thought it was only Google Docs, but now it turns out it's also notes and tasks, and at least these three tools that can be used. And from this, an incredible workflow emerges.
Well, and the second example, I'll demonstrate with one of the most powerful tools, in my opinion, that Google has: Google Maps. I think it's an undisputed leader, there's nothing to argue about. Google Maps is also part of this ecosystem. The only thing is that Gemini cannot write there. That is, it can get all the information from there, but it can't write anything there yet. But I think that's just for now. And look how interesting and convenient it can be used. I mainly do this from my phone, but for the example, it's easier to show on a laptop. I have my home and work addresses saved in Google Maps. Come visit if you want. So, Gemini can pull this information about me from here. Look how I can use it. For example, while in the chat, I can ask something like this: "Tomorrow I want to go to work and I want to be there at 17:00. But on the way, show me restaurants with playgrounds. I want to take my wife and child there." Well, and here's the answer. Yes, it answers, shows restaurants. And this is what my trip to work looks like. I just look at the restaurant addresses. Aha, well, because tomorrow is Sunday, that is, today is Saturday night, Saturday, and tomorrow is Sunday. Well, everything is closed. So, it shows those that will be open. A little off the way. Well, in general, you got the idea, right? So, it looked at my route, it knows where I'm going to work, it calculated which restaurants will be open at that time, checked the restaurants to make sure they have playgrounds. Here's the children's area. And for example, I can add to it and ask something like this: "Add this task to my to-do list so I don't forget, and we'll stop by a restaurant with a green terrace. And add the description and phone number of this restaurant to my notes, so I can quickly open a note and read about it, and the phone number, so I don't even have to open the Maps app." Well, and it says that everything is ready, it created the task and saved it in notes. That is, the task. We check Tasks. Today, tomorrow. "Go to work seminar via restaurant with green terrace." Well, okay, okay. And we check in Notes. Here's the information about the green terrace restaurant. There's a phone number and healthy food, a nice area for children. Well, short and clear. Well, okay.
And let's try to ask it to write this into our calendar as well. Yes, for example, I have a shared calendar, for example, with my spouse, and I want her to see it. Yes, let's ask it like this: "Add the fact that I will take my wife and child to the restaurant as a separate event to the calendar." Well, and please look. So, it added an event to the calendar. And moreover, it calculated that it's scheduled for 15:00 so that I can get to work by 17:00. Yes, it figured out how long I need to drive so that I can both drop them off and get to work by 17:00. "Lunch with family at the green terrace." Please, let's go to the calendar. Here's "lunch with family." It even picked a corresponding picture. Ha.
Well, and if these examples still haven't convinced you that using an ecosystem is much better than using just one chat, then here are a few more dry facts about Gemini and Google in general. Who invented neural networks? Yes, Sam Altman, OpenAI. It's all a cool company, cool marketers, everything is great with them. But Google invented the technology itself, and now they've taken up its development. Here, of course, we need to thank OpenAI. I think they brought this technology to light. Maybe it would have remained a quiet experimental project in Google's labs. But thanks to Sam Altman, it came to light, and now everyone uses it. But the creator and father is still Google. So, I think they know what they're doing.
Fact two: OpenAI rents all its server power. It's all rented from Microsoft. Google has its own. All the infrastructure, all the computing power, they make their own microprocessors, and they even buy their own mini-atomic stations, I heard. In short, their own data centers, their own hardware, their own software, their own mobile phones, the Android operating system on mobile phones. And now, in cooperation with Apple, Google can probably always undercut prices.
Fact three: In terms of money, for twenty dollars, ChatGPT gives me just a chat. Well, Gemini for twenty dollars gives me the same chat, essentially, plus two terabytes of cloud storage, almost unlimited connection to any sources using their LLM, plus artificial intelligence functions in almost all tools and the ecosystem. I think you can roughly imagine what it will look like soon on mobile phones. Just imagine when to this is added a camera, Bluetooth, your geolocation, and so on. Imagine, for example, you're leaving work, the phone reports that you've changed your geolocation, it knows that you're going home at seven o'clock in the evening, it calculates your route and says, "Today, drive through this square because there's a big traffic jam or an accident on the old route." Or, for example, you take out your phone and want to take a picture, and right in camera mode, it suggests, I don't know, "increase the aperture to two point zero and add ISO to three thousand."
The next fact, don't think I've just made it up. This is just proof that I'm not some Google company ambassador. Google, it turns out, has its own chat, yes, its own messenger, Google Chat. I didn't even know about it. And in light of recent events, after I tried how cool it is to use all the advantages of the ecosystem, I seriously started thinking. I started thinking about this messenger. Why not use it? I went in, looked, clicked around. Everything is there. It's a real, cool messenger. Yes, most likely, Gemini won't work there as openly as in Notes or Tasks. After all, there are privacy policies and all that. But still, I think if there's a little checkbox, "Do you agree to share information about yourself?", I'll click "Yes" without hesitation. And now imagine, on the way home, you go into chat and say, "Gemini, look at everything my wife wrote to me today and make me a to-do list." And it will look, for example, that at lunch she wrote that you need to stop by the store and, I don't know, buy a bottle of champagne. It will add it to the task, create a route on the way, find a supermarket, and even break it down by time.
The next fact, I would call it legal reliability. I have many viewers from Germany and the Netherlands. I don't know why, hello, thank you for watching. Now you'll understand what I mean. OpenAI, I won't say anything here. But for example, Grok and its director are mentioned here literally every six months in some scandals, they're always disagreeing about something, they don't want to comply with requirements, and so on. So, in this regard, I also really like Google. I always understand it this way: if this function appeared for me, located in Europe, if it works, then everything will be fine there, my data is protected, and if something goes wrong, the state will protect me from the corporation. So, most of all in these matters, I trust Apple. And in second place is Google, because they value their reputation, they have all the power, capabilities, money, resources to comply with all these, damn it, European laws, again and again. Well, what can you do, you have to pay for something.
By the way, I remembered one more small nuance. In the comments, they wrote to me, I checked, and it turned out to be true: Google has a lot of educational programs, and they provide free access to their models.
So, what's the conclusion today? ChatGPT is genuinely good if we're talking about chat. It's good. Damn it, Google, why can't you make these damn folders? It's so simple. It has a cool interface, cool speech generation. These folder projects, you can select text and clarify. Well, super functions. If we're talking only about chat, then ChatGPT has no equal. Well, and Google and Gemini, I think they're just starting to show us what the future will look like. That neural networks, artificial intelligence will be everywhere, in every tool, in every application. It will be permeated through everything. All your functions will be interconnected. All devices will know about each other. And all this, I think, will happen by the end of 2026.
And my advice is this: take and try the Gemini subscription once. Yes, not ChatGPT, of course, but this ecosystem. Try using it, and I'm sure if you start using all this power of interaction between all the applications, you'll hardly be lured back by beautiful folders in the chat.
And for those who watched to the end, thank you very much for watching. I've finally enabled monetization on this channel. I've connected other convenient platforms. This is not mandatory, of course, the content will remain free, but if you have the opportunity and want to support me, then all the money will go to the development of the channel, to finding information, to subscriptions for platforms, and then you'll see even more interesting videos from me and analyses. Well, and of course, practical application. And keep an eye on the Telegram channel, we're always in touch there. The link is also below. And with you was Ruslan. Here we treat neural networks as a tool, not as a deity. Value yourself, value your experience, and goodbye.
