In a few days it will be a year since Google introduced Bard, in quick response to the announcement coming just 24 hours later, introducing Microsoft’s new Bing. Let’s recall that Bing was in turn Microsoft’s answer to ChatGPT, which began to write an indisputable success story at the end of 2022. In this case, the situation was much better for Microsoft, since it already had a fairly significant participation in OpenAI.

Google is a technology company that He has been active in the field of artificial intelligence for many years., as is more than known to many professionals in this technology. However, despite his experience, he had to react acutely on both courses, which made his first steps in the race against his main rivals somewhat bumpy. As we already told you, leaks indicated that the company planned to present its AI-based news at Google I/O 2023, where AI really played, but they had to react quickly.

Bard was clearly, especially in the early months, a quick response, not an alternative capable of competing on equal terms. However after excellent work in which the company was able to evaluate all its experienceat the beginning of December, we experienced the much-anticipated arrival of Google Gemini, a new model of artificial intelligence that is already proving to be perfectly capable of standing up to GPT OpenAI, and which was presented in three versions: Ultra, Pro and Mini. the second, the one Bard currently uses, and the third, one designed specifically for smartphones.

Bard will soon be renamed Gemini!

The changelog also mentions “Gemini Apps,” which appears to be Google’s way of lumping Gemini “web” and Gemini “mobile” together under the same name.

But then what is a Bard? What is Gemini? What does Google Assistant use? The truth is that it can all be a little confusing with the current organization and it seems that the company has realized this and intends to address it. So as we can read on 9to5Google, Google is already preparing to change its name from Bard to Geminia path that they started to deal with as early as mid-January by changing the name of the participants, and which from what we see now goes much further.

We first heard about Gemini officially at Google I/O 2023, and in that time it has already gained a lot of recognition from the community, which is why the company is now trying to unify its AI proposal under this common name, in the same way that Microsoft did with Copilot. A move, either way, very smart in my opinion..
