But such is the pace of the industry, it\u2019s hard to keep up with all the functionality of each AI tool in 2026. They feel like productivity octopuses now, with tentacles in every app and more integrations and features than you can shake a stick at. Workflows like Gemini Notebooks and apps like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/notebooklm-podcast-app-didnt-know-i-needed-3669559\/\">NotebookLM<\/a> are two good examples of how quickly Gemini has evolved. We wanted to know whether all that extra functionality really matters to you, or whether you\u2019d rather the likes of Google and OpenAI should just focus on making sure AI can give you the best possible answers.<\/p>\n<p>We put the question to you in a poll after my colleague Karandeep made the case that Gemini Notebooks \u2014 especially with NotebookLM in the mix \u2014 had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/gemini-notebooks-make-me-rethink-chatgpt-3659143\/\">made him rethink ChatGPT<\/a>. His argument was about what could win him over when choosing an AI tool, specifically about Google giving Gemini a more useful workflow with things like Notebooks and custom sources. That\u2019s his personal take, but we all have our own view of how AI tools could up their game. Here\u2019s how you voted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"inmi-source\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/what-matters-in-an-ai-tool-poll-results-3674187\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener
