Google's Bard makes way for Gemini
Friday, February 9, 2024 at 7:36PM Remember Bard, the AI-powered assistant Google introduced a year ago? Today, it evolves into something even more powerful: Gemini. Powered by the cutting-edge Gemini Pro 1.0 model, Gemini promises a new level of intelligent interaction across 230+ countries and 40+ languages.
You can enjoy natural language conversations with Gemini over text or voice. Ask it questions, get tasks done, or simply start a casual chat. And since it's a multi-modal model, you can show Gemini a photo or describe an image you want created, and let it weave its visual magic. Start your Gemini journey at no cost through the web interface or mobile app (available on Android and via the Google app on iOS).
For an enhanced experience, embrace Gemini Advanced. It's powered by the even more powerful Gemini Ultra 1.0 model. You can enjoy a free two-month trial before it becomes part of the Google One AI Premium Plan, offering 2TB of storage and more for US$20/month (approx. CA$27).
Soon, Gemini will seamlessly integrate with core Google services like Gmail and Docs, bringing AI assistance directly where you need it most. Its language and geographical reach will also expand, offering its diverse capabilities to even more users worldwide. Right now, it's available in 150 countries but only in English.
Android users can use the "Hey Google" voice prompt or press the power button to experience Gemini's capabilities. Your familiar voice controls for timers, calls, and smart home devices remain accessible through Gemini.
