Pricing, capabilities and platforms side by side. Prices are as of the "Pricing checked" date in the table.

Genomi
The core workflow is four steps: install the agent harness, point it at your raw genome file on disk, build a local SQLite index, then ask questions through whichever AI agent you already run — Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Goose, and others are listed as compatible. Pharmacogenomics, carrier status, polygenic risk scores, nutrigenomics, and ancestry PCA projection are all covered through distinct skill modules backed by ClinVar, PharmCAT, PGS Catalog, HPO, GenCC, and 1000 Genomes reference data. The privacy architecture is explicit: raw genome data stays on disk, and only the specific evidence snippets relevant to a query cross the boundary to whatever LLM handles the response. The vendor marks this as experimental and not for clinical use — which means researchers and privacy-conscious individuals exploring personal data are the intended audience, not clinical teams expecting diagnostic-grade output.

Google Gemini
The headline capability is the context window: the vendor states Gemini 1.5 Pro supports up to 2M tokens, which means you can load entire codebases or research corpora in a single pass without chunking. The mixture-of-experts architecture lets the Pro-tier models handle complex multi-step reasoning and tool use, while Flash and Flash-Lite variants absorb high-volume, cost-sensitive workloads. Multimodal input — text, image, video, audio — is native, not bolted on, so vision and audio tasks route through the same API surface. The ceiling shows up at the intersection of rate limits and latency: teams with sustained high-throughput workloads report queuing pressure on the free tier, and Pro-tier access is paid-only.
