Gemini Launch!
Google Gemini is the name of Google’s new AI chatbot, which was formerly known as Bard. Google announced the rebranding of Bard to Gemini in February 2024, along with the introduction of a dedicated mobile app and a paid version called Gemini Advanced. Gemini is a high-performance AI model that can generate natural language responses to various queries and tasks. Google claims that Gemini is far superior to OpenAI’s GPT-4, which is another leading AI chatbot.
Google was originally planning to launch Gemini in December 2023, but it delayed the launch until January 2024, citing some reliability issues with non-English prompts3. Google finally launched Gemini in early 2024, making it available across almost all its products, from Android to the iOS Google app to Gmail to Docs and more. Google also offered a free Gemini Advanced subscription for two months to Google One users, as a limited-time promotion.
