Pharma founder: Gemini's native Google Workspace access beats handing data to Claude or ChatGPT

P. Damodaran, founder of Aurobindo, shared his take in a reply: Gemini has gotten "exponentially better" over recent months, and its killer feature for him is connecting natively to his entire Google Workspace on its own — "no way I am giving that access to Claude or ChatGPT."
He clarifies he doesn't use it for coding; for that he relies on AWS Kiro, which routes across multiple models underneath. The takeaway is an adoption logic driven by ecosystem integration (Workspace access) rather than raw model capability.
