Artificial intelligence
Google had previously used virtual assistants and chatbots, such as Google Bard, prior to the announcement of Gemini in March 2024. None of them, however, had been seen as legitimate competitors to ChatGPT, unlike Gemini.[160] An artificial intelligence training program for Google employees was also introduced in April 2024.[161]
Google has also created the text-to-image model Imagen,[162] and the text-to-video model Veo.[163]
In 2023, Google released NotebookLM, an online tool for synthesizing documents using Gemini. In September 2024, it gained attention for its "Audio Overview" feature, which generates podcast-like summaries of documents.[164][165] Google also developed LearnLM, a family of language models serving as personal AI tutors.[166]
