The Gemini mobile app, supporting English, Korean, and Japanese, is now available to a global audience with its comprehensive language options.
Before this, Google had rebranded its AI chatbot Bard to Gemini, consolidating its AI efforts under a single brand name. The rebranding was accompanied by the introduction of Ultra 1.0 in the Gemini Advanced update, marking a significant milestone in Google's AI journey.
