| About | Gemini is Google’s AI assistant. It answers questions, writes and summarises, analyses images and files, and can work with Gmail, Docs and Drive when you allow it. A free version is available, with more capable models in paid Google plans. | Scite shows whether later research supports or disputes a paper’s claims through its Smart Citations, and offers an assistant that answers questions with references. |
Which one should you pick?
Gemini lets you start for free, so it is the easier one to try first. Scite also runs on API. Both are described from their official websites; try each with a real task from your own work before you commit, since quality depends heavily on the job.
