Originally launched as Bard AI in early 2023, Google re-branded the product as Gemini in 2024, aligning it with its family of foundation models (Gemini 1, 1.5, and now Gemini 2).
Gemini combines Google’s decades of search expertise with the deep-learning capabilities of DeepMind, producing an assistant that reasons, plans, and creates content with remarkable accuracy.

Unlike most text-only LLMs, Gemini is natively multimodal — it can process and generate not only text but also images, audio, and code within the same context. This makes it uniquely powerful for creative, technical, and analytical tasks.

Gemini is available through:

• Gemini app (Android & iOS)

• Gemini for Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Gmail)

• Gemini Advanced (powered by Gemini 1.5 Pro / Ultra)

• Google Cloud Vertex AI integrations for enterprise users.

With its massive context window (up to 1 million tokens in 2025 enterprise tier), Gemini can handle entire codebases, research papers, or video transcripts at once.
It seamlessly connects with Google Search, ensuring factual grounding, live citations, and multilingual accuracy.
