# How It Works
## Natural Language Workflow Integration
The gemini-mcp-tool is designed to seamlessly integrate into your natural workflow with your preferred MCP compliant AI clients, achieved through carefully crafted tools and pipelines.
Claude automatically decides when to use `ask-gemini` based on context:
- `š comparative analysis` - different AI perspectives for validation
- `š ļø leveraging extra tools` - Gemini's search and memory functions
- `š code review & big changes` - second opinions on implementation
- `š” creative problem solving` - brainstorming and ideation
This intelligent selection enhances your workflow exactly when Gemini's capabilities add value.
