Who is this best for?

This is the fastest way to decide whether Google Gemini is in the right neighborhood.

Best for
  • GCP-first teams that want the simplest governance and operations story
  • Organizations standardizing on Google Cloud procurement and security controls
  • Workloads that benefit from close integration with Google Cloud data and networking
  • Teams willing to run evals to validate capability and cost on their specific tasks
Who should avoid
  • You are not on GCP and don’t want cloud-specific governance overhead
  • You need self-hosting or strict on-prem deployment
  • Your main buyer intent is AI search product UX rather than raw model access
