See the Difference: Revo vs Gemini for Gmail
Same email. Two AI email tools. Watch what happens when one knows your full business context, and one doesn't.
Gemini for Gmail is convenient but limited, built for basic email tasks, not business intelligence.
Generic AI without business context
Gemini only knows what's in your inbox. It doesn't connect to your CRM, documents, or business metrics, so drafts are generic and summaries lack business context.
Revo connects across your entire business stack for context-aware intelligence.
Accuracy and hallucination issues
Users report Gemini can still make logical errors, lose context during long conversations, and occasionally hallucinate information. Independent reviews confirm reliability concerns for complex or high-stakes tasks.
Revo grounds every response in your actual business data, not general training.
Privacy concerns
Users report that disabling Smart Features doesn't fully disable Gemini. Unless you're in California or Illinois, AI features remain enabled by default, and settings can reset after updates, requiring constant monitoring.
Revo have privacy-first architecture with transparent data handling and full user control.
Gmail ecosystem lock-in
Gemini only works within Gmail. If you use Outlook or other providers, or need cross-platform intelligence across business tools, Gemini can't help.
Revo works across Gmail, Outlook, and can connect to 40+ business platforms.
Basic features require paid plans
Advanced features like Proofread, AI Inbox, and higher usage limits require Google AI Pro. Free users are limited to basic summaries and replies.
Revo delivers comprehensive intelligence starting at $22.50/user with no feature gates.
Ready for an AI that actually knows your business?
Gemini for Gmail is fine for basic inbox AI. But if you need intelligence across your entire workflow — not just Gmail features — Revo was built for you.

FAQ

This is where Revo leaves other tools behind. Revo doesn't just "search" your tools when you get an email. Instead, it builds and maintains Intelligence Modules—a living memory of your company that updates in real-time.
The Difference: Revo already knows the status of every project, the decision made in this morning's meeting, and the latest Slack update before you even open your inbox.
Example: When a client asks, "Is the bug fixed?", Revo doesn't have to go look it up. It already knows the fix was shipped in v2.4 this morning and drafts the confirmation instantly based on that verified fact.
No human at Revo ever reads your emails. Revo is an automated infrastructure. We use secure APIs (the same ones Gmail/Outlook use) to structure context—like identifying a project deadline—and draft your reply. We are SOC 2 and ISO 27701 compliant and certified, and your data is siloed. It is never used to train public AI models. You own your data, period.
Absolutely. While Revo makes you faster individually, it makes teams significantly smarter. When your team uses Revo, you build a Shared Intelligence. Your drafts can reference context from a meeting your co-founder had, or a ticket your engineer just closed, ensuring everyone speaks with one unified voice.
Yes, if you want it to. Revo includes a high-fidelity Meeting Recorder that joins calls (Google Meet, Zoom, Teams) to capture decisions and action items. This "Meeting Intelligence" is instantly fed into your context modules, so your email drafts normally know what was discussed 5 minutes ago without you typing a summary.
