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).

Google’s Bard AI tool to reportedly get a Gemini makeover

A document leaked on X reveals that Google is preparing to announce some major updates to its Bard AI tool as early as next week. The document, which has not been officially verified, claims that Google will rename Bard to Gemini, the same name as its new multimodal AI model that was launched in late 2023. This could be a strategic move by Google to unify its AI products under one brand name. Gemini is already powering some of Google’s services, including Bard.

The document also includes a changelog from an Android app developer named Dylan Roussel, dated February 7. According to the changelog, Google will introduce a paid subscription option called Gemini Advanced, which will allow users to access the Ultra 1.0 model of Gemini. This model is described as “far more capable at highly complex tasks like coding, logical reasoning, following nuanced instructions, and creative collaboration.” Gemini Advanced will be initially available in over 150 countries and optimized for the English language. The document also states that Gemini will be available in Canada with this release.
