What is Google Gemini?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Bard
via Google Gemini<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In February<\/a> of 2023, Google released an artificial intelligence bot, Bard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts claim Bard (now Gemini) is Google’s response to OpenAI’s ChatGPT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gemini is built on Google’s AI language model for dialogue applications (LaMDA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet, Gemini is an experimental conversational AI service that answers questions and provides information like Google search in a refined manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He says: \u201cThe technology can combine the breadth of the world\u2019s knowledge and draw on information from the web to provide fresh, high-quality responses.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, human reviewers assess Gemini’s conversations to improve the quality <\/em>of responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gemini’s strength lies in its ability to offer simple and contextual answers (as opposed to endless pages of web content).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Gemini features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The way <\/em>Gemini retrieves information is what sets it apart from other AI chatbots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It extracts data in real-time, having been trained in conversational data (instead of books, articles, etc.), making it a chattier chatbot than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a look at its top three features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Gemini extensions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Google keeps upgrading Gemini’s<\/a> features, with the latest one being\u2014Gemini Extensions\u2014a chatbot that pulls your information from Gmail, Google Docs, Google Maps, Google Drive accounts, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, let’s assume you plan to go to the Grand Canyon with your work team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of juggling multiple tabs and wasting time asking who’s free and when, let Google Gemini’s AI model take over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
