How it works
Gemini is multimodal-native: text, image, video, audio, and code share the same architecture rather than being added on. Strong on tool use, especially in the Google Cloud ecosystem (BigQuery integration, Vertex AI grounding, Workspace tools).
Example
A document processing agent ingests a mix of PDFs, scanned images, and structured data, all handled by Gemini 3.1 Pro's native multimodal pipeline without intermediate conversions.
