jo vs Gemini

Gemini supports chat, image generation, Deep Research, Canvas, Gems, and connected Google apps. Higher plans add agentic capabilities and Chrome auto browse. ¹

jo uses connected email, calendars, contacts, files, messages, browser activity, and active Mac windows when enabled to prepare research, plans, drafts, reminders, and browser-assisted work.

Gemini can use saved info, past chats, Connected Apps, and Personal Intelligence for personalized help. Those settings can be managed or turned off. ²

jo maintains relevant context across conversations, projects, and connected sources. It can surface briefings and recurring autopilot results before you ask.

Gemini Apps include the web app, Android and iOS apps, macOS, Chrome, Android Auto, Maps, and other supported Google surfaces. ²

jo works on Apple Silicon Mac and web, with mobile access through mobile web, iMessage, WhatsApp, and Telegram. There is no native mobile app yet.

Gemini has a free tier; Google AI Plus is $4.99/month, Pro is $19.99/month, and Ultra starts at $99.99/month. With Keep Activity on, chats can be used to improve Google services; turning it off stops future chats from training AI models unless you send feedback. ^{1 2}

jo gives every user an isolated cloud machine and storage, uses zero-retention model endpoints, and does not train on mail, messages, or screen content. jo asks for approval before it sends, books, buys, or changes a calendar. It is free while in beta, with no waitlist.

Which is right for you? Choose Gemini for help across Google products, devices, and its agentic features. Choose jo for persistent personal context, proactive help, and approval before consequential actions.
