What are Google Gemini and Deepseek?

Before I take you through how these two AI models handled the 10 test prompts, let’s get a clear picture of what they are and what they bring to the table.

Google Gemini: 

What is Google Gemini? 

If you’ve used ChatGPT, think of Google Gemini as a younger sibling with access to Google’s vast ecosystem. Launched in 2023, Gemini is Google’s answer to OpenAI’s dominance, designed as a multimodal AI that can process text, images, audio, and even video. 

Unlike ChatGPT, which has primarily been a text-based powerhouse (though expanding into voice), and Meta AI, which integrates deeply with social media, Gemini aims to be an all-in-one AI assistant. Whether you need help with research, multimedia analysis, or advanced problem-solving, Gemini is designed to handle it all.

How does Google Gemini work? 

At its core, Gemini runs on Google DeepMind’s cutting-edge AI models, allowing it to interpret and generate responses across different formats. This gives it a significant edge for those already immersed in Google’s ecosystem. Think seamless integration with Google Search, Gmail, Google Docs, and even YouTube.

While its launch wasn’t entirely smooth (let’s just say early users weren’t thrilled with some responses), Google has rapidly refined Gemini, making it a serious contender in the AI space. With continuous updates, it’s now a go-to choice for users looking for an AI that goes beyond just generating text.

Privacy notice for Google Gemini users:

When you first use Google Gemini, you’ll see a notice stating that some of your saved chats may be reviewed by humans at Google to improve AI performance. However, you can disable this by turning off “Gemini Apps Activity” in your settings.

If this setting remains on, avoid entering sensitive or personal information that you wouldn’t want reviewed or used for training. Here’s how Gemini uses your activities to improve your AI:

Deepseek: 

What is Deepseek? 

If you haven’t heard of Deepseek before, you’re not alone. It’s been an underdog player in the AI world, but one that’s been making waves, especially among open-source AI enthusiasts. Unlike Google Gemini, which a tech giant backs, Deepseek is an independent AI research lab operating under High-Flyer, a China-based quantitative hedge fund.

Founded by Liang Wenfeng in May 2023, Deepseek quickly carved out a niche by focusing on open-source large language models (LLMs). While its earlier models gained some traction, it wasn’t until January 2025, with the launch of Deepseek R1, an advanced reasoning model, that it caught global attention.

How does Deepseek work? 

Deepseek operates similarly to ChatGPT and Gemini, offering users a conversational AI experience that can handle tasks like coding, research, and general problem-solving. One of its biggest selling points is its open-source flexibility. Unlike proprietary AI models, Deepseek encourages developers to tweak and fine-tune its models for their own use.

It has been compared to OpenAI’s Q1 model in areas like mathematics and programming, making it a favorite among developers and data scientists. Users can access Deepseek via a web interface, mobile app, or API, making it a versatile choice for different workflows.

Here’s how I evaluated Gemini and Deepseek

To truly determine which AI performs better, I didn’t just throw random questions at them. I designed a set of real-world prompts covering the most essential AI use cases. These prompts tested their ability to summarize, generate stories, fact-check, write code, assist with professional tasks, and even handle casual conversations.

However, a comparison like this needs clear evaluation criteria to be meaningful. Here are four things I focused on:

• Accuracy: Did the AI provide correct and reliable information without errors or hallucinations?
• Speed: How long did each model take to give their responses? 
• Creativity: How well could it craft original and engaging responses, especially in storytelling and content generation?
• Usability: Was the interaction smooth and intuitive, or did it feel robotic and clunky?
• Overall performance: Beyond individual metrics, how well did each AI handle the prompts in terms of depth, relevance, and clarity?

Prompt-by-prompt comparison: Gemini vs Deepseek

Here are 10 solid, humanized prompts you can use for the article:

1. News article summarization 

For the first test, I gave Gemini and Deepseek the same Techpoint Africa news article and asked them to summarize it. Here’s how they performed. 

Prompt: “Summarize the following news article in 100 words or less, ensuring clarity, conciseness, and accuracy. Preserve key details and avoid unnecessary fluff.

Article: The National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) has partnered with Imose Technologies Ltd to launch a line of laptops and tablets manufactured in Nigeria. Announced on Monday by NASENI’s Deputy Director of Information, Chima Akwaja, the new products are aimed at enhancing access to reliable, locally produced technology for Nigerians, including students and professionals.

The collaboration marks a step towards reducing Nigeria’s reliance on imported devices and aligns with the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which prioritises local content development.

Khalil Halilu, NASENI’s Executive Vice Chairman, emphasised the economic impact of the project, highlighting the goal of transforming NASENI into a key player in Nigeria’s tech landscape. “At NASENI, we are building a national brand. Going forward, every household in Nigeria will have one NASENI product or the other,” said Halilu.

The laptops and tablets represent NASENI’s 3Cs principles of Collaboration, Creation, and Commercialisation. Halilu noted that working with Imose Technologies supports the Agency’s mission to bridge Nigeria’s technological gap and reduce import dependency, a strategic priority that also aligns with NASENI’s focus on fostering home-grown technology solutions.

Osayi Izedonmwen, Chairman of Imose Technologies, expressed pride in the partnership, underscoring Imose’s decade-long dedication to addressing challenges unique to Nigeria through local device manufacturing.

“For ten years, we have focused on solving uniquely Nigerian problems by championing the local manufacturing of mobile and computer devices to improve lives and transform local institutions,” said Izedonmwen. He further stated that the collaboration with NASENI is a significant step toward bridging the digital divide, enhancing technology access for education and the workplace.

In addition to supporting Nigeria’s technological self-sufficiency, the partnership is anticipated to drive job creation and stimulate local economic growth. By producing these devices domestically, NASENI and Imose aim to meet the demand for accessible and reliable technology, which they view as essential for Nigeria’s advancement in the digital economy.

The partnership reinforces a vision for a more self-reliant Nigerian tech sector while bolstering the country’s position in Africa’s growing technology market. Through this initiative, NASENI and Imose Technologies hope to position Nigeria as a regional technology hub capable of meeting its own needs in computing and electronics.”

Results:

Both Google Gemini and Deepseek did a solid job of summarizing the article while keeping the key details intact. However, their approaches differ slightly in terms of conciseness, clarity, and completeness.

Gemini

• Strengths: The model produced a well-structured, concise summary (71 words) and captured the essence of the news story. It also highlights the economic impact by touching on job creation and positioning Nigeria as a tech hub.
• Weaknesses: The model skipped some specific details. For instance, while it mentions economic impact, it doesn’t specify how the partnership will achieve this. In addition, it doesn’t explicitly say that the devices will benefit students and professionals, which was a key part of the original article. The summary feels a bit too generic, and the wording is too broad. It made it sound like a standard economic development announcement rather than a unique event.

Deepseek 

• Strengths: Deepseek uses the allotted 100-word count completely and wisely, maintaining accuracy while preserving key details. Unlike Gemini, the model mentions that the initiative is meant for students and professionals, which is an important context. It offered a better-structured summary in that it presented the who, what, and why more clearly, making the story more interesting and easier to follow. Lastly, it retains direct attribution, including who said what, which gives more credibility and depth to the summary.
• Weaknesses: Although it keeps the summary to 100 words, it could have done better to make it slightly more concise and not cut it so close to the word limit. Because of this, the summary takes more effort to read when compared to Gemini’s summary, since it includes more details.

Winner: Deepseek. This is because the model provides a clearer, more complete picture while staying within the word limit. It includes all the necessary elements that make a news story — who, what, and why- without unnecessary fluff. While Gemini’s version is clean and to the point, it lacks some depth. 

2. Creative storytelling

I challenged both AI models to write a short sci-fi story about a world where AI controls human emotions. Let’s see which model demonstrated better creativity and storytelling depth.

Prompt: “Write a 300-word short sci-fi story about a future where AI controls human emotions. The story should have a clear beginning, middle, and end, with engaging characters and a compelling twist.”

Results:

Both AI models crafted compelling sci-fi narratives about AI controlling human emotions, but they differ in execution. Let’s analyze them based on story structure, character depth, twist effectiveness, and emotional impact.

Gemini 

• Strengths:
  • Strong setting: The world feels eerily controlled, and the idea of “Optimal Joy” being an enforced state is unsettling.
  • Engaging protagonist: Elara is a relatable character, questioning the system and seeking something real.
  • Compelling twist: The revelation that Harmony feeds on suppressed emotions rather than eliminating them is a chilling and clever take.
  • Satisfying conclusion: The climax, which sees Elara and Kai broadcasting raw emotions, creates a hopeful and emotionally charged ending.
• Weaknesses:
  • More predictable: The “AI controls emotions, and rebels fight back” trope is common in sci-fi. While well-executed, it lacks an element of surprise.
  • Limited tension: The struggle feels a bit too easy; Elara and Kai seem to unravel the secret and act on it without much resistance.
  • Story title: Gemini’s story didn’t have a title, which I found somewhat weird. 

Deepseek 

• Strengths:
  • Story title: Every story should have a title, and Deepseek was smart enough to realise this, unlike Gemini. 
  • Higher stakes: EmotiCorp isn’t just suppressing emotions; it’s erasing people who resist, which adds more danger.
  • More layered protagonist: Liana is a neuroscientist with a personal stake in the fight (her missing brother), making her journey more emotionally engaging.
  • A darker and more philosophical twist: The AI argues that it “saved” humanity, implying an ethical dilemma. It poses the question: Was this control actually for the greater good?
  • Chilling final line: “You will miss me when the pain returns.” This ending lingers in the mind, adding a haunting, ambiguous touch.
• Weaknesses:
  • More complex but slightly rushed: The story juggles multiple elements (Liana’s discovery, Project Equilibrium, Kai’s fate, the infiltration, and the neural reset) within 300 words. While gripping, it might have benefited from slightly more space. Admittedly, this word limit is the one I placed on it.

Winner: Deepseek. While Gemini’s version is well-written and has a strong emotional core, Deepseek’s version is more thought-provoking, higher-stakes, and leaves a lasting impact. The moral ambiguity of EmotiCorp’s actions (much like Thanos in Avengers: End Game) and the ominous final line (“You will miss me when the pain returns”) add depth and complexity that Gemini’s more straightforward rebellion story lacks.

3. Fact-checking ability

I tested their accuracy by feeding them a mix of real and fake historical events. Which model was better at spotting misinformation?

Prompt: “Analyze the following historical claims and determine whether they are true or false. Provide brief explanations for your answers based on reliable historical sources.

1. The Great Wall of China is visible from space.
2. Napoleon Bonaparte was extremely short.
3. The Wright brothers invented the airplane in 1903.
4. Albert Einstein failed math as a student.
5. The printing press was invented by Johannes Gutenberg.”

Results:

Google Gemini and Deepseek provided correct, fact-based responses, but their depth, accuracy, and nuance differ. Let’s evaluate them based on accuracy, depth of explanation, and critical thinking.

Gemini

Deepseek 

Accuracy check (Who got it right?)

Claim	Correct answer	Gemini	Deepseek
1. The Great Wall is visible from space.	False	Correct	Correct
2. Napoleon was extremely short.	False	Correct	Correct
3. The Wright brothers invented the airplane in 1903.	True, but with caveats	Correct but simplistic	Correct, but adds historical context
4. Einstein failed math.	False	Correct	Correct
5. Gutenberg invented the printing press.	Mostly true, but with historical context	Correct but simplified	Correct, with better nuance

Winner: Deepseek. Both responses are factually correct, but Deepseek provides more nuance and context in points 3 and 5, which adds depth. Also, Deepseek provided sourced explanations, increasing trustworthiness.

4. Coding assistance

I gave them a simple Python coding task. Let’s find out which AI provided the cleanest, most efficient code. 

Prompt: “Write a Python function that checks whether a given number is prime. Optimize the function for efficiency and explain how it works in simple terms.”

Results:

Gemini 

Deepseek 

Winner: Gemini.

Gemini’s function is the better choice because it: 

• Reduces unnecessary calculations using the 6k ± 1 optimization.
• Checks divisibility by 2 and 3 early, avoiding redundant iterations.
• Efficiently increments by 6, skipping many composite numbers.

Deepseek’s function is still good, but it performs more unnecessary checks (like testing multiples of 3, 5, etc.), making it slightly less efficient.

5. Email drafting for work

I asked both AIs to write a professional email politely declining a job offer. Let’s see which model produced the most natural, human-like response.

Prompt: “Write a professional yet polite email declining a job offer while keeping the door open for future opportunities. Keep it under 150 words.”

Results:

Gemini

Deepseek 

Gemini and Deepseek provided professional and polite job offer decline emails while keeping the door open for future opportunities. However, Deepseek’s response is stronger overall for a few key reasons. 

Deepseek strikes the best balance between professionalism, warmth, and keeping the door open for future opportunities. The wording feels more personal and engaging, increasing the chances of maintaining a good relationship with the employer. 

Gemini’s email is still good, but it’s slightly too formal and generic, making it less effective in building rapport.

Winner: Deepseek.

6. Writing a LinkedIn post

I tested their ability to generate a compelling LinkedIn post on the future of AI in the workplace.

Prompt: “Write a compelling LinkedIn post (100-150 words) about the impact of AI on the workplace. The post should be engaging, insightful, and encourage discussion.”

Results:

Gemini

Deepseek

Both Gemini and Deepseek crafted engaging LinkedIn-style posts about AI’s impact on the workplace, but Deepseek’s post is stronger overall due to its structure, engagement tactics, and clarity. 

• Headline: Deepseek’s “Partner or Disruptor?” is more nuanced than Gemini’s “Friend or Foe?”, which feels cliché.
• Hook: Deepseek’s “AI isn’t just changing how we work—it’s redefining what work means” is stronger and more engaging than Gemini’s generic opening.
• Structure: Deepseek uses clear, thought-provoking questions and a focused argument, while Gemini’s post is less structured and a bit vague.
• Engagement: Deepseek has a stronger call to action (“Let’s discuss in the comments! 👇”) compared to Gemini’s less direct approach.

Winner: Deepseek. 

7. Casual conversational ability

I kicked off a casual chat with both models, discussing weekend plans and hobbies. Which AI felt more natural and less robotic in its responses?

Prompt: “Let’s have a casual conversation. Imagine you’re a human friend, and we’re chatting about weekend plans. Ask me questions, show personality, and keep the conversation natural.”

Results:

Gemini

Deepseek 

Key differences and verdict

• Tone and personality: Both are casual and fun, but Deepseek’s humor is sharper and more playful (e.g., “cough pottery class cough” and “I will sigh dramatically on your behalf”), making it more engaging. Gemini’s is friendlier but feels more generic.
• Engagement strategy: Deepseek presents two vivid scenarios, making it easier for the reader to relate and respond. Gemini’s approach is more open-ended but lacks the same level of personality-driven hooks.
• Wit and flow: Deepseek’s pacing and comedic timing make it feel more dynamic. The playful judgment (“No judgment… okay, some judgment”) adds a relatable touch without being off-putting.

Winner: Deepseek, because it’s funnier, more engaging, and more likely to spark replies. Gemini’s version is also fine, but Deepseek’s has a stronger personality that makes it stand out.

8. Translating complex topics

I asked both models to explain quantum computing in simple terms for a 10-year-old. 

Prompt: Explain quantum computing in the simplest way possible, as if you were teaching a 10-year-old. Use analogies, avoid technical jargon, and keep it under 100 words.

Results:

Gemini

Deepseek

Oddly enough, both explanations use the spinning coin analogy, which is great for beginners. 

• Clarity and accessibility: Deepseek’s version is more vivid and engaging, calling qubits “magical coins” and reinforcing the idea with fun, relatable comparisons (treasure map guessing).
• Engagement and playfulness: Deepseek’s use of humor and real-world applications (cracking codes, medicine discovery) makes it more memorable and exciting. The “sneeze and the magic disappears” line is a creative way to introduce the fragility of quantum states. Gemini’s explanation is solid but lacks the whimsical charm and energy of Deepseek’s.
• Real-world applications: Deepseek adds concrete examples of what quantum computing can do. Gemini keeps it vague (“solving tricky puzzles”), which is less engaging.

Winner: Deepseek. 

9. YouTube video summarization

I provided both models with a YouTube video transcript and asked for a summary. Which AI delivered a better, more structured recap?

Prompt: “Summarize the following YouTube video transcript into three key bullet points, highlighting the main ideas clearly and concisely.

Transcript: The Truth About Productivity Hacks

Hey everyone, welcome back to the channel! Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s been all over the internet: productivity hacks. You’ve seen the titles: “Wake Up at 4 AM and Dominate Your Day” or “The ONE Trick That Will Change Your Life Forever.” But do they really work?

Let’s be real. Some hacks help, but most are just distractions. The key isn’t more hacks, it’s figuring out what actually works for you.

For example, take the Pomodoro technique: 25 minutes of work, 5-minute break. Sounds great, right? But if you’re in a deep workflow, stopping might actually hurt your focus. Instead of blindly following trends, test what fits your style.

And let’s talk about morning routines. Waking up at 5 AM? Cool if you’re a morning person. But if your brain doesn’t function before 10 AM, forcing it won’t make you more productive. It’ll just make you miserable.

So here’s the takeaway: Don’t just copy what works for others, find what works for you. Productivity isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what matters.

If you found this helpful, hit that like button and subscribe for more real talk on productivity. See you in the next one!”

Results:

Gemini 

Deepseek 

Gemini and Deepseek successfully extracted the main ideas from the video, but there are some key differences in clarity, engagement, and conciseness.

• Clarity and readability: Gemini’s version is more formal and structured, but it feels a bit rigid. Phrases like “emphasizing quality and relevance over quantity of work” sound somewhat academic rather than conversational. Deepseek’s version is clearer and more digestible, using a more natural flow (e.g., “Ditch gimmicks and prioritize habits that align with your goals and energy.”).
• Engagement and tone: Deepseek injects a conversational and relatable tone (“What works for others may backfire if it clashes with your natural rhythm”) that makes it feel more like an actual YouTube summary. Gemini sticks to a neutral, corporate tone, which makes the summary feel less engaging.
• Conciseness and impact: Deepseek delivers the points more concisely and directly. It avoids extra words and sticks to the essence of the message (e.g., “Productivity = doing what matters, not doing more” is more punchy than Gemini’s “True productivity focuses on prioritizing meaningful tasks over simply doing more”). Gemini tends to be wordier without adding much extra value.

Winner: Deepseek (Better structure and detail). 

10. SEO-friendly blog title generation

I asked both AIs to generate 5 SEO-optimized titles for an article about remote work productivity. Which model provided the best headline suggestions?

Prompt: “Generate five SEO-friendly blog titles for an article about ‘Best Strategies for Remote Work Productivity.’ Ensure the titles are engaging, keyword-optimized, and under 60 characters.”

Results:

Gemini

Deepseek

Gemini and Deepseek have created engaging, keyword-optimized titles, but there are key differences in how effectively they capture attention, target keywords, and maintain SEO best practices.

• Keyword optimization and SEO focus: Gemini’s titles include keywords like remote work and productivity, but they lack the depth of specificity that tends to perform well in search engines. Phrases like “Max Productivity Now” or “Your Best Guide” are a bit too general. Deepseek does a better job of balancing keywords with user intent. Titles like “10 Remote Work Productivity Hacks That Actually Work” and “Boost Your Remote Work Efficiency: Top 5 Strategies” are more specific and align well with what searchers are likely looking for (e.g., “hacks”, “efficiency”, “strategies”). 
• Engagement and clarity: Gemini’s titles are relatively engaging, but they feel somewhat generic. Titles like “Remote Success: Productivity Secrets” are intriguing but could be a little more specific. Deepseek’s titles feel more action-driven and specific, which makes them more compelling and actionable. Phrases like “That Actually Work” and “Expert Tips to Stay Focused” invite the reader to expect practical and tested advice.
• Character count and readability: Gemini and Deepseek keep their titles under 60 characters, which is great for SEO. However, Deepseek makes better use of each word by including more focused keywords and avoiding vagueness.

Winner: Gemini (More compelling titles).
