Comparison
DecisionOS vs Google Gemini
Gemini is a capable assistant for research, reasoning and drafting, with strong native integration across Google Workspace. DecisionOS is the layer above: it turns one enterprise technology decision into an audit-ready memo with weighted criteria, stakeholder alignment and compliance scope. The two complement each other.
TL;DR
Gemini drafts inside Workspace. DecisionOS decides outside of it.

How DecisionOS is different
Gemini is deeply helpful inside Workspace. DecisionOS produces an artefact that does not live inside any one editor. For enterprise decisions that must survive tool changes and audits, the artefact matters more than the editor.
