Here’s how the test went.
Productive choices
If theres one thing AI should be able to do, its give useful advice.
Not just generic tips, but applicable and immediately helpful ideas.
What changes should I make to my routine?"
Gemini 2.0 was noticeably quicker to respond, even if it was only a second or two faster.
As for the actual content, both had some good advice.

That said, it was very fast and could clear up those issues with a bit of back-and-forth conversation.
