Why Is Google`s Bard AI Chatbox Renamed Gemini? Know Features Of Gemini Advanced And Availability

New Delhi: Google recently made several announcements in a blog post, which include renaming its Bard AI chatbot to Gemini, introducing a new Gemini app, and rolling out the Gemini Advanced large language model alongside a premium subscription.

Bard, previously known as Google's conversational generative AI assistant, competes with OpenAI's ChatGPT. It offers users online access to AI capabilities for generating images and text content based on their inputs.

Do you know why Google took the drastic step of renaming its popular widely-used chatbot to Gemini? CEO Sundar Pichai has recently provided insights into this decision during his latest interaction. 

Explaining the motive behind the name alteration during an interview with CNBC, Pichai stated, "Gemini represents our overarching strategy for developing our most proficient and secure AI model. Bard served as the primary means for users to engage with our models directly, thus transitioning it to Gemini aligns seamlessly since it directly refers to the underlying Gemini model."

"I believe it will also serve as the conduit through which we will continuously enhance our models, providing users with a direct experience. Hence, we concluded that the name change was appropriate."
