Google recently unveiled its new AI assistant called Gemini. Previously known as Bard during development, Gemini represents Google's latest foray into natural language AI chatbots. Google's new Gemini AI is accessible on both Android and iOS for US users at the time of release. But recently Gemini product lead Jack Krawczyk said that they started the roll out to more countries too. Now in this article we'll discuss how you can access Google Gemini AI on Android and iOS. The Android experience involves a dedicated app, while iOS users need to go through the Google app.

2. Now in the Search bar at the top search for "Google Gemini".

3. Install the Google Gemini app.

4. Open the app and follow the prompts to set up your account. If you are already a Google Bard user & using the same email address on your device then it'll automatically set up everything.

5. After going through the quick setup process, you'll have full access to Gemini through the app.

2. Form your profile, go to Settings.

3. Now select the last option which is "Digital assistants from Google".

4. On the page of "Choose your digital assistants from Google", Choose the first option "Gemini" from the list.

5. Now you can access Gemini by saying "Hey Google", & it'll launch over any other app.

To use Gemini on iOS:

1. Make sure you have the latest Google app installed.

2. Open the app and sign in to your Google account.

3. Look for the Gemini tab within the app and tap it.

4. Gemini will open and you can start querying the AI

5. That's all there is to it! There's unfortunately no way to replace Siri with Gemini at this time on iOS.

Conclusion

Google's new Gemini AI assistant represents an exciting advancement in conversational AI, now accessible for limited users on Android and iOS. While Android offers the smoothest experience through a tailored Gemini app, iOS users can still utilize Gemini's capabilities directly within the Google app. As Google expands availability, Gemini's impressive AI chatbot features will become available to more users across platforms. Trying Gemini today provides a glimpse into the future of natural language AI.
