Google Gemini AI Upgrades, New Features
Gemini’s version 2.0 offers new experiences for users that center on new generative features. One of the highlights of this Gemini version is that it is now an “agentic” AI that can accommodate massive prompts and tasks that users give the chatbot.
Among the latest features of Gemini is one that Google has been testing, which involves the search engine only providing AI-generated results. This expands the AI Overviews feature from Google’s search engine, and it ultimately removes the traditional search results in favor of AI-generated results via AI Mode.
Google has also made it so that Gemini can be used as the next Assistant, particularly as it centers more on Personalization features that lets users set alarms, events, reminders, and more on Google apps.
