Google has launched the Gemini app on the iPhone. You can now download it on the Apple App Store for free. Some features you'll get include access to "free-flowing conversation" with Gemini Live, allowing you to talk to Gemini conversationally. You can pick from 10 distinct voices, and it supports 10 languages with a promise of more coming soon. Google says this Gemini Live experience is new for iPhone users.

The app also helps students study better with its ability to create tailored study plans and ask it to quiz you. You also get access to Imagen 3, Google's image generation model. You can check this link to see if you have access to it already.

Nvidia launches its replacement app for GeForce Experience

Nvidia has a new app for its PC users. The aptly named Nvidia App replaces the Nvidia GeForce Experience. It launched in beta in 2024 and is bundled with video card drivers and integrates features from the company's Nvidia Control Panel, including configuring your display, tuning the GPU performance, and enabling or disabling G-Sync.

The Nvidia App can record your gameplay, show statistics in an overlay, and place artificial intelligence-powered RTX game filters on. The new app retains the feature that optimizes the game settings based on your PC's specs. The company plans to add more Control Panel app options (like Surround and Multiple Display Mode settings) alongside other enhancements. And you don't need an Nvidia account to use the app.
