    Gemini in Viro

    You can use Gemini, Google's model, for free in Viro. It's on every plan with unlimited chat, alongside Viro AI, ChatGPT, and Claude, and you can switch to it whenever you like.

    What is Gemini good for?

    In Viro, Gemini shines at research, strategy, and fast web search. Try asking it to:

    • "What's changed in electric car tax credits this year?"
    • "Outline a launch plan for a small bakery's new delivery service"
    • "Weigh the pros and cons of renting versus buying in my city"

    When a question needs current information, Viro searches the web and shows its sources. See Web Search in Chat.

    Is Gemini free in Viro?

    Yes. Gemini comes with every plan, including Free, and chat is unlimited. On Free you'll see small sponsored cards, and paid plans remove them. Features with fair-use limits, like Research and image creation, have the same limits for every model. See Plans & Pricing.

    Do I need a Google Gemini subscription?

    No. Viro connects to Google's model for you, so a free Viro account is enough, with no Gemini subscription. Viro is an independent app, not Google's Gemini app, and your chats stay in your Viro account.

    Is Gemini eco-friendly in Viro?

    Gemini runs in its provider's data centers, which run wholly or partly on fossil fuels. In Viro it's labeled Energy matched, meaning Viro funds new renewable energy to cover the electricity your Gemini chats use. For 100% clean energy, choose Viro AI. See Is Viro AI Eco-Friendly?

    Are my Gemini chats private?

    To answer you, Viro shares your message and the context it needs with the model's provider. Providers are set not to use your conversations to train their models, and Viro never sells your data. See How Viro Uses Your Data.
