Berges AI vs Gemini
Gemini is Google's AI assistant, integrated with Workspace. Berges AI is a standalone, privacy-first chat. Here's how they compare.
Google's Gemini is a powerful AI assistant built deep into Workspace, Android, and the rest of the Google ecosystem. If you live inside Google's tools, those integrations are hard to beat. Berges AI is a different kind of product. It's a small, focused chat that doesn't try to be your everything app.
Pick Gemini if you want deep Workspace integration. Pick Berges AI if you want a standalone chat that doesn't touch your other accounts and that's built on open-weights models with encryption at rest.

How they're different
Different scope
Google makes Gemini and runs it inside an enormous product ecosystem. Berges AI is a standalone chat, intentionally separate from any other account or integration. Different scope, different design.
No ecosystem, by design
Berges AI doesn't plug into your mail, calendar, or docs. If you need that, Gemini does it well. That's genuinely a Gemini strength. We made the opposite choice: no integrations, no extra permissions.
Encryption as a default, not a setting
Nothing is stored until you save a conversation, and a saved conversation is AES-256 encrypted at rest. We don't read your conversations and we don't train on them. You don't have to find a setting to make that true.
Subscription-only
Our only revenue is the subscription. There's no other product elsewhere monetizing your attention or data. Google's parent company runs many such products; we just run a chat.
Things people ask about Berges AI vs Gemini
Should I switch from Gemini to Berges AI?
If you rely on Workspace integration, Gemini does that better. If you want a separate, private chat that doesn't touch your other accounts, Berges AI might be a fit.
Is Gemini cheaper than Berges AI?
About the same. Both around $20/month. Berges AI Pro is $19, Google AI Pro is $19.99.
Does Google train on my Gemini conversations?
Per Google's policy, consumer conversations may be reviewed to improve the product, with an opt-out available. Berges AI doesn't train on yours at all.
