• Turn on tasks mode so Gemini keeps working while you are away
• Connect apps such as Instacart, OpenTable, Adobe, and Shopify, from more than 40
• Use it for research, preparation, and multi-step errands
• Approve anything that buys, books, or sends

• Hard maths problems and proofs
• Scientific analysis

• Planning experiments

Google lists creative writing as a strength. Use it for long stories, scripts, and worldbuilding, with your own voice and edits.

• Quick questions and simple chat
• Short summaries and classification
• High-volume, low-cost API tasks
• Anything where speed matters more than depth

Use a smaller, faster model for these and save Argon for hard work.
