Google’s new chatbot, Gemini, is now available for Android devices, offering users a direct and interactive way to engage with AI. This standalone application seamlessly integrates with the Google App and is ready for download on the Google Play store.

The rebrand of Bard, Google’s web-based chatbot, to “Gemini” has been completed this week, aligning with the name of its latest AI model. This rebrand also includes the launch of a new Android app to fully integrate Gemini across the Google ecosystem.

Android expert Mishaal Rahman hinted at the launch of the app earlier today, sharing a link to it on the Play Store. While not officially announced by Google yet, some users are reporting limited access due to an ongoing server-side rollout.

Once set up, users can access Gemini through the app icon, saying “Hey Google,” or by long-pressing the power button for a Gemini overlay. It even offers an option to replace Google Assistant on your device. However, it’s important to note that Gemini currently does not offer all the same functionalities as Google Assistant.

The interface supports text and text-image prompts and allows for easy photo or screenshot capture. While English is currently supported, Korean and Japanese language support will be available soon. For iOS users, Gemini can be accessed by tapping the “Gemini” button at the top of the Google app.

It’s worth noting that while Gemini has its own app, it mainly serves as a convenient way to access integration within the Google App. More information on Gemini’s capabilities will be added as we learn more once an official announcement is made by Google. Stay tuned!
