What they are

Google Gemini

Google Gemini is a conversational AI built on Google's large language models, capable of text generation, summarization, coding help, and image understanding. Creators use it for drafting scripts, brainstorming ideas, and researching topics without leaving a chat interface. The free tier is genuinely useful, and the Advanced plan unlocks Google's most capable model. Deep integration with Google Workspace is a real advantage for creators already in that ecosystem.

Patreon

Patreon is a membership platform where creators charge fans a monthly or per-creation fee in exchange for exclusive content, community access, or perks. Podcasters, artists, writers, and video creators use it to build a predictable income stream outside ad revenue. It takes a percentage cut of earnings rather than charging an upfront fee, which makes entry easy but gets expensive at scale.
