Gemini app

Also known as: Google Gemini app, Gemini assistant, Bard

Google's consumer AI assistant application, available on web, Android, and iOS. Powered by Gemini models, the app handles text and image queries, Deep Research, code, and multimodal tasks. Gemini 3 Flash became the default model in the app in late 2025. Available free with a paid Google AI Pro or Ultra tier for higher model access.

The Gemini app launched in February 2024 when Google rebranded its Bard chatbot to Gemini, signaling the transition to a new model family and a more capable product. It integrates with Google services by design: in paid tiers, Gemini can access Gmail, Docs, Drive, and Calendar to provide personalized, context-aware answers. It also powers AI Mode in Google Search for a growing set of queries.

As of May 2026, the free tier includes access to Gemini 2.5 Flash, limited 2.5 Pro access, Deep Research, Gemini Live (real-time voice conversation), Canvas (collaborative writing and document editing), and Gems (customizable AI mini-apps). The Google AI Pro tier ($19.99/month) expands to Gemini 3 model access in the US and higher Gemini Code Assist limits. The Ultra tier ($124.99 for three months) unlocks Gemini 3.1 Pro, Gemini 2.5 Deep Think, Veo 3.1 video generation, and 25,000 monthly AI credits.

For builders, the Gemini app is most relevant as a product benchmark: it shows what Google is prioritizing in its consumer AI experience. The Gems feature (custom AI mini-apps with defined personas and instructions) is the Gemini app equivalent of ChatGPT's Custom GPTs. Gemini in Chrome, rolling out to Pro and Ultra subscribers in 2026, extends in-browser AI assistance directly into web pages, competing with browser-integrated AI tools from other providers.
