Gemini is primarily an AI experience. MySamantha is primarily a productivity workspace.
Gemini's strength is its reach across the Google ecosystem, from Search to Workspace. MySamantha is a different kind of product: a personal workspace where Notes, Tasks, Journal, Email and Calendar are built in, with Samantha as an optional assistant.
Choose Gemini if…
You want AI woven through the Google products you already use every day.
Choose MySamantha if…
You want one workspace that holds your notes, tasks, journal, email and calendar, with AI you can use, bring your own key for, or turn off entirely.
The architectural difference
Gemini adds intelligence to an ecosystem of separate apps. MySamantha starts from a single connected workspace and treats AI as an optional layer on top.
Let’s stop wasting time copy-pasting between apps.
Create Rules. Get Alerts.
Set custom alerts, and Samantha notifies you when the right email, message, or keyword appears, so the important ones reach you.
Your life is connected, not scattered.
Email, calendar, events, maps, and photos are part of the same workspace, so Samantha can work with them directly when you ask her to.
Bring Your Own Key
Connect your own API key if you prefer, and use the model access you already pay for. The workspace is designed so it does not depend on a single model provider.
Smart Recall across your workspace
Ask Samantha to find something from last week, and she can search your notes, journals, and tasks because they live in the same workspace.
An assistant with somewhere to put the answer.
Most assistants stop at a reply. Samantha can write the note, create the task or move the meeting, because the workspace is already hers to act in.
