Disappointed that ChatGPT is the only AI model on Apple devices? Don't fret.

Google adds Gemini chatbot feature to Messages app

Google has announced a series of Android and app updates ahead of MWC, including a new feature that lets you chat with its own chatbot Gemini: right from Google Messages. You can start chatting with Gemini as soon as you update the Messages app this week, but you’ll need to join Google’s beta testing program first.

There’s no need for a Google One subscription for this version, unlike Gemini Advanced which offers more capabilities but requires a subscription. While Gemini is reported to be a bit of a disappointing chat partner, integrating the chatbot into your messaging app might make it seem more friendly. Gemini in Messages is currently only in English and in select markets.

Google's Bard makes way for Gemini

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).
