It is pertinent to mention here that Google Gemini cannot summarise all videos available on YouTube as the feature requires captions. Moreover, all languages are not supported, so you may get a different answer depending on the language you are typing in. Anyhow, Gemini is accurate most of the time. Keep in mind that large language models are prone to errors, so you can take the information with a pinch of salt.

In the realm of AI, tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI have been actively developing different products, such as ChatGPT and Gemini.
