Google rebrands its Bard AI chatbot as Gemini, which now has its own Android app

Google has renamed the Bard chatbot and Duet AI as Gemini to maintain consistent branding across its generative AI products.

Along with swift access to Gemini, the overlay will offer contextual suggestions, such as the ability to generate a description for a photo you just took or ask for more information about an article that's on your screen. It says Gemini Advanced "is far more capable at highly complex tasks like coding, logical reasoning, following nuanced instructions and collaborating on creative projects." The company says it carried out "extensive trust and safety checks, including external red-teaming" (i.e. testing by third-party ethical hackers) on Gemini Advanced before refining the model with reinforcement learning and fine tuning.
