Google Bard Becomes Gemini: A New Identity for the Chatbot

Google rebrands Bard to Gemini, aligning smoothly with Google's AI model introduced in December. This renaming isn't just for show; it's a deliberate move to bring clarity.

The idea behind the rebranding is simple: users need to know they're engaging with the cutting-edge Gemini Pro 1.0 model via the chatbot. This shift is aimed at enhancing the user experience and improving overall understanding of the technology at play. In a nutshell, Google is simplifying things to make the interaction with artificial intelligence smoother and more straightforward.

It is more than just a name change; it signifies a new identity in artificial intelligence. The commitment to delivering the best of Google tech through its AI assistant is evident in the multifaceted capabilities of Gemini. 

The integration of multimodal capabilities, coupled with the intuitive Google Assistant prompt, propels Gemini into the forefront of AI innovation. Users can now expect a more engaging, interactive, and creative experience when interacting with Google's AI assistant.

Seamlessly integrate Gemini into various Google applications like Workspace, Drive, and Docs, supercharging your productivity with AI-powered tools. It is currently available in English across 150 countries and it is set to expand its language support soon.

The Power of Gemini on the go

Google has launched a new app for Gemini, available on both iOS and Android devices. This app lets you access Gemini seamlessly on your phone, whether you're typing, speaking, or adding images. It's a big step towards making Gemini a truly conversational and multimodal AI assistant for your pocket.

The mobile app works smoothly on both Android and iOS, ensuring a consistent and user-friendly experience.

On Android and the whole Pixel ecosystem, Gemini becomes your assistant designed to collaborate and assist in your tasks. This includes things like pressing the power button, swiping the corner on select phones, or simply saying "Hey Google." This activates a new overlay experience, providing convenient access to Gemini and offering contextual assistance directly on your screen.

Gemini is now available in the U.S. on Android and iOS phones, initially supporting English. A global rollout is underway, with launches in over 230 countries and territories in the coming weeks. Japanese and Korean language support will follow, with additional languages planned.

Furthermore, DuetAI is now also called Gemini. Together with Bard, the tools have been rebranded to align with the broader Gemini framework in Google Workspace and Google Cloud. This change reflects a unified approach to Google's AI-powered solutions.
