MySamantha vs Gemini
Gemini is primarily an AI experience. MySamantha is primarily a productivity workspace.
Gemini's strength is its reach across the Google ecosystem, from Search to Workspace. MySamantha is a different kind of product: a personal workspace where Notes, Tasks, Journal, Email and Calendar are built in, with Samantha as an optional assistant.

The architectural difference
Gemini adds intelligence to an ecosystem of separate apps. MySamantha starts from a single connected workspace and treats AI as an optional layer on top.
An assistant with somewhere to put the answer.
Most assistants stop at a reply. Samantha can write the note, create the task or move the meeting, because the workspace is already hers to act in.

Stop copy-pasting between apps.
MySamantha pairs an optional assistant with a workspace where your notes, tasks, journal, email and calendar already live.
Create rules, get alerts.
Set custom alerts, and Samantha notifies you when the right email, message or keyword appears, so the important ones reach you.
Your life is connected, not scattered.
Email, calendar, events, maps and photos are part of the same workspace, so Samantha can work with them directly when you ask her to.
Bring your own key.
Connect your own API key if you prefer, and use the model access you already pay for. The workspace doesn't depend on a single model provider.
Recall across your workspace.
Ask Samantha to find something from last week, and she can search your notes, journal and tasks because they live in the same workspace.
Moving over from Gemini.
Keep the AI you pay for
Use a supported AI account, bring your own API key, or top up and pay only for what you use.
Run both while you decide
Many people keep Gemini going while they settle in. Bring existing work into MySamantha at your own pace.
Can I use MySamantha alongside Gemini?
Yes. Many people run both while they decide. Import tools and integrations help you bring existing work into MySamantha at your own pace.
How does pricing work?
Your plan pays for the MySamantha software. AI usage is separate: use supported AI access you already have, bring your own key, pay as you go, or turn AI off.
Do I have to use the AI?
No. Turn AI off and MySamantha remains a workspace for Notes, Tasks and Journal without AI features.
