Google recently announced the launch of a paid Gemini Advanced service and a mobile Gemini app for both iOS and Android in addition to rebranding its AI tool Bard as Gemini. Given that Google claims “Gemini represents [its] most capable family of [AI] models,” one can only hope that the upgraded AI assistant will be even more useful than Bard.
Whether Gemini is a better product than ChatGPT or if it can compete with it, only time will tell. To gauge the intelligence and use of Google’s rebranded chatbot, test these three must-have features for the time being.
- Create images with Gemini
These days, AI-generated photos are very popular, and Google is experimenting with this functionality across a number of businesses. In addition to being able to immediately produce generative AI photos from Google Search as of October 2023, the Gemini mobile app now allows users to make AI images directly.
Gemini, which makes use of the Imagen 2 AI model, can create anything for you in a matter of seconds, no matter how specific or ambiguous you want to be. Examples used by Google are “Generate an image of a futuristic car driving through an old mountain road surrounded by nature” as well as “Create an image of a dog riding a surfboard.”
We put Imagen 2 and Copilot’s DALL·E 3 through a series of photo tests with both easy and complicated prompts, just in case you were wondering how they compare.
- Allow Gemini to assist you in crafting the ideal text or image caption
Words can be difficult at times, whether you’re searching for the ideal Instagram caption, replying to a professional email, or attempting to send a sensitive text to a friend. The latest Google Gemini, fortunately, can assist!
To achieve drastically different outcomes, you might ask Gemini to “create a cute social caption” or “create an inspiring social caption.” It’s easiest to modify your search query as you go rather than trying to think of the ideal question or prompt at the beginning, like with most AI chatbots.
You may utilize Gemini as a sounding board to bounce ideas off of if you also need assistance brainstorming for a creative endeavor.
- Easily use your phone to ask Gemini questions from any location
Gemini is an AI-powered assistant that can help with any task at any time, taking the role of Google Assistant as your default assistant on your phone.
Saying “Hey Google” while seeing an image will ask you a direct inquiry about it, whether it’s a recipe you’d like to try or a place you’d like to see. Gemini is your go-to helper. In a similar vein, you may write your query into a pop-up box that appears over an article and say “Hey Google” while reading it.
According to Google, Gemini can’t now manage media, reminders, or routines, but future updates will allow it to do so. Google says that you will eventually be able to test out Gemini in Gmail, Docs, Slides, Sheets, and more if you have an AI Premium subscription.
ChatGPT is currently Gemini’s strongest rival (as well as the biggest rival for all other AI assistants). The ChatGPT designers, OpenAI, have introduced the GPT shop, which enables you to customize the chatbot. Additionally, you may now provide ChatGPT with “Custom Instructions” to receive more precise responses. Is ChatGPT superior to Gemini, though? Probably right now. However, with updates and new features, this might easily alter in the future.
