Google has begun bringing an understanding of video, audio and photos to its Bard AI chatbot with a new AI model called Gemini. Google Pixel 8 phone owners will be among the first to tap into its new artificial intelligence abilities, but Gemini will come to Gmail and other Google Workspace tools in early 2024.
People in dozens of countries first got access to Gemini with a Bard chatbot update in early December, though only in English. It can provide text-based chat abilities that Google says improves AI abilities in complex tasks like summarizing documents, reasoning, planning and writing programming code. The bigger change with multimedia abilities — for example understanding hand gestures in a video or figuring out the result of a child’s dot-to-dot drawing puzzle — will arrive “soon,” Google said.
