Google has recently renamed its language model from Bard to Gemini. Since its launch last year, this tool has undergone significant improvements.
Initially, Bard faced criticism from users due to its limitations—from its initial presentation to its official release—making it challenging to provide accurate information or maintain coherent conversations. However, Google has since made substantial enhancements to Bard, rebranding it as Gemini. The name is a nod to the Gemini Pro large language model (LLM) that powers it.
The Bard of a year ago has transformed into the current Gemini, capable of supporting useful conversations, generating text similar to human responses, and seamlessly integrating with Google Workspace. Today, Gemini stands as a leading AI chatbot, a generative AI tool that produces text for various applications, much like ChatGPT.
