Google on Thursday announced it has reconstructed and renamed its Bard chatbot — now called Gemini — to offer enterprises and consumers the industry’s first multimodal generative AI (genAI) platform that no longer relies only on text to provide human-like responses.
The release of Gemini represents a direct challenge to Microsoft’s Copilot, which is based on OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and every other chatbot based only on large language model (LLM) technology.
