Google Gemini is a chatbot developed by Google as a director competitor to OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Using all of the power and capabilities of Google in artificial intelligence and search, it has been quickly embedded into almost all Google products.
Launched in March 2023 as Bard, the chatbot did not have the best start to public life. Within hours, users had found lots of embarrassing holes in the technology, from the typical hallucinations to racist image results.
Google has ridden the criticism wave, similar to what almost all chatbots have received, and has continued to update Gemini with more targeted filtering and anti-abuse tools.
Alongside having the chatbot as a separate webpage and app, Gemini has also been baked into Google’s search in the form of AI overviews. This was also pushed in response to Microsoft’s ChatGPT integration with Bing, which some considered the next evolution for search engines.
While Gemini had a slow start, it has seen downloads and usage increase, as Google uses its large ad inventory and search engine to market the AI service.
But questions of stickiness, which cloud ChatGPT as well, remain for Gemini. Gemini and ChatGPT both have hundreds of millions of weekly users, but keeping them on the platform requires constant upgrades to stay ahead of the competition.
