At the same time that new artificial intelligence (AI) tools were dominating headlines with their innovative ideas and captivating abilities, Google's own creation was gaining attention for entirely different reasons. Bard's initial performance was found lacking on more than one occasion. From its abysmal opening debut to its official launch, users struggled to get the chatbot to provide accurate information or even follow along with a conversation without hallucinating.
A new wave of AI tools has taken the world by storm and given us a vision for a new way of working and finding the information that can streamline our work and our lives. We show you the ways tools like ChatGPT and other generational AI software are making impacts on the world, how to harness their power, as well as potential risks.
Read nowBut Google has made some large improvements to Bard since then, including renaming it to Gemini, a namesake of the large language model (LLM) powering it, Gemini Pro. The Bard from a year ago isn't the Gemini that you can access today: Gemini can hold helpful conversations that rival those of ChatGPT, can generate images, and provides a smooth integration with Google Workspace.
Gemini is now a great assistive AI chatbot; a generative AI tool that can generate text for everything from cover letters and homework to computer code and Excel formulas, question answers, and detailed translations. Similar to ChatGPT, Gemini uses AI to provide human-like conversational responses when prompted by a user.
To start using Google's chatbot, you'll want to visit the Gemini homepage by going to Gemini.Google.com and then logging in to your Google account.
Gemini is pretty straightforward; you'll be taken to the chat window once you log in. Like the other popular AI chatbots available for widespread use, the Gemini chat window has been optimized to be user-friendly and easy to navigate.

Here's what you'll find when you open the Gemini window (pictured below):

Here's what the chat window looks like before sending any prompts.
At this point, you're ready to start using Google's Gemini chatbot. Just enter your query in the text area and send it to the chatbot to see (or hear) its response.
Here's an example of a response from Gemini.
You can also ask Gemini to create images, just like you can with ChatGPT Plus and Microsoft Copilot (aka Bing Chat). Simply write your prompt for Gemini to generate the image you'd like to see in the same chat window.
I'm asking Gemini to "create an image for a social media post of a plate of food to advertise a Caribbean food festival."
After Gemini generates an image (or two), you can download it, ask it to regenerate it, or send another prompt to create a different image.

I clicked on the image I liked most to download it. As a person born and raised in the Caribbean, this image looks pretty accurate for local food, though you can't really discern what exactly is in the bowls. AI-generated images can be vague around small details, but the meal still looks tasty.
The Gemini AI chatbot can answer most questions you ask since it uses search tools from Google. This capability is something the free version of ChatGPT can't do, since it's limited to knowing information up to January 2022. Gemini's AI-based answers can serve many purposes, from giving you recipes to helping you debug code.

Here are some examples of prompts you can ask the bot:
As with all AI chatbots, it's important to refrain from giving Gemini any personally identifiable information or private data you don't want to be shared. Even if generative AI tools say they are private, personal information isn't something that should be used to test that claim.
When Gemini was announced as Bard last year, it faced scrutiny after factual mistakes made during its demo. Users have subsequently wondered whether Google's chatbot still continues to provide inaccurate or inappropriate responses and whether it can be trusted, as some have come to trust other AI tools.
Also: How does ChatGPT actually work?
Google has reiterated that Gemini is an experiment capable of making mistakes. The company upgraded Gemini to use its latest-generation LLM, Gemini Pro -- after launching the AI chatbot with its earlier model, LaMDA, and then updating it to PaLM 2 -- and has made significant upgrades to the user experience through integrations with Gmail, Maps, Lens, and more.
Having tested Gemini often during the past year, I believe it's a great AI chatbot, offering a pretty similar experience to ChatGPT and Copilot. It's worth noting that all AI chatbots can provide inaccurate information, make mistakes, and have hallucinations.
Google doesn't save your entire interaction each time you chat with its chatbot, but it does save the prompts and questions you've asked. That being said, as a search engine, Google is known for being one of the largest trackers in the world, so giving its chatbot private information is probably not a great idea.
Also: Your Bard conversations are someone else's Google results
Gemini uses Google's proprietary LLM named Gemini Pro, instead of the GPT series, which is the technology that many popular AI chatbots are using.
Gemini and other AI chatbots, such as Bing Chat (aka Copilot) and ChatGPT, certainly have the potential to replace search engines. These AI tools are trained on information available on the web to provide answers to users' queries, but instead of giving them a list of websites where that answer may or may not be found, these tools generate a textual response in a conversational manner. The drawback is that these answers may not always be accurate.

Some people might use AI chatbots in place of Google Search, especially since the added abilities of asking follow-up questions and generating text make it more functional for some use cases than a search engine.
For months after its launch, Gemini was only accessible through a waitlist. But in May, Google announced during its Google I/O event that it's ending the waitlist access program and opening up its new AI tool to over 180 countries and territories. Now, anyone who logs in with their Google account can access Gemini -- no need to wait.
