Gemini is an AI chat assistant. Google's assistant across Workspace and its own app. Six capabilities, marked the same way for both.

Worth saying plainly: these six are the things Beagle is built to do, so they flatter Beagle. Gemini is an AI chat assistant and is not trying to do most of them - a low score here is a difference in job, not a fault. What Gemini does better is the other half of the picture.

The difference

Where Beagle fits.

The shape of work Gemini was not built for.

Lives where you talk
Beagle is a teammate in Slack and Microsoft Teams, not a tab you switch to. It reads the channels it is invited to and answers in the thread.
Does the work, not just the talk
It drafts the reply, updates the record and chases the action item across ~2,700 tools - then waits for your nod before anything goes out.
Learns your team
Correct it once and it remembers. Over time it knows your tone, your accounts and your decisions - the part Gemini leaves to you.
