Artificial Intelligence has become the biggest technology of today and because of this, all new devices, applications and systems that want to progress and stand out must have AI integrated in some way. To do this, it is important to be able to hire the services of other companies that have their own, and Google is very advanced in this.
Google's AI is called Gemini, and it's one of the few that has been able to overshadow ChatGPT. In fact, it has a certain advantage over others, since it is Google, it has been quite easy to integrate into the company's huge ecosystem, although it is also easy because of its great capabilities.
A few weeks ago the company announced that Gemini will be able to reply to your WhatsApp messages without asking for your phone; that he could read and reply to your chats. And now it is known that Gemini is coming to your Gmail and plans to do the same.
And now Google has rolled out a feature to its Gmail service on Android devices that lets users ask the Gemini assistant to find information in emails in their inbox.
Gemini arrived in Gmail in June, located in a side panel, from which it helps the user summarize emails, suggest replies or create a draft. Another one has been added to these functions, which until now was only available in the desktop version: questions and answers.
Questions and answers allow interaction with the assistant in a conversational format. The user can ask him to perform some of the tasks already available from the side panel, but he can also find information about the inbox or specific emails.
That interaction recently came to Gmail for Android, and will be available "soon" on iOS as well, Google announced on the Workspace blog. Its rollout has already begun, although it will be gradual, and Work-space users with the Business, Enterprise, Education or Education Premium extension will be able to find this new feature.
Below we will explain the main features of Google's new artificial intelligence model in a simple way. We will explain what Google Gemini is, a new model of artificial intelligence created by the search engine company.
We'll start by explaining exactly what Gemini is, and how it works inside. To help you understand, we'll also compare it to GPT, the model used by ChatGPT, ChatGPT Plus, and Bing Chat, and finally, information about when we know it's coming.
What is Google Gemini?
Gemini is an artificial intelligence model created by Google, and it is the leader in the competitive artificial intelligence market. Artificial intelligence models are not apps or chatbots like Google Bard, but the technology they work on.
In fact, Gemini is intended to be the successor to PaLM, which is the artificial intelligence model currently used by Bard. The intention is that PaLM will gradually be replaced by Gemini within Bard; so even if we use the same AI bot, the answers it gives us will be much better.
At its launch, Gemini stood out for outperforming all rivals in major tests. This means that Google has succeeded in surpassing OpenAI and its GPT-4, although sooner or later a new version of this model will also arrive that surpasses it.
Gemini is a multimodal model that will be able to understand different types of information, from text you type to images, audio, and programming code. This will make it a very flexible model.
How Google Gemini Works
Artificial intelligence models are trained intensively with large amounts of data. Data is collected from all over the Internet and fed to training algorithms so that this language system can learn to understand what we say, retain the information that answers it, and generate natural written responses.
In the case of Gemini specifically, Google has designed Gemini from scratch. From the beginning it has been created as a multimodal model. This means that you are not trained to understand a source like text, and then you are taught to transform other sources into this first one. His training has been different.
This model has been trained from the beginning to natively combine different modalities. This means that it will be able to understand a text or a drawing that we make in real time. According to the search engine company, it is also able to relate objects in real time and suggest songs as you give instructions.
Gemini also introduces a new code generation system called AlphaCode2. This system improves the understanding of complex mathematics and computer theory. Reasoning and the ability to understand the code are also improved, so that there are less "hallucinations" and the answers are more reliable.
