<a href="https://about.google/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Google</a> has unveiled an app for its AI-powered assistance, <a href="http://www.gemini.google.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gemini</a>. The app which will serve its iOS users globally will eradicate the Google app or mobile web usage to chat with the AI tech.&nbsp; 
The new app – Gemini Live – will stand as a new addition to the existing iOS application. Features like seeing for study help and suggestions on recipes available on the Google app and mobile web will be restored to the Gemini Live app. 
Another feature is that users can have conversations with Gemini through the <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/08/13/gemini-live-googles-answer-to-chatgpts-advanced-voice-mode-launches/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Gemini Live feature</a> available in 12 languages which are English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Portuguese, Arabic, Italian, Indonesian, Japanese, Turkish, and Vietnamese.

The new Gemini iOS app supports text-based prompts in 35 languages. According to Google, it aims to introduce support for additional languages soon. Users can also use extensions to ask Gemini questions about information related to their other Google accounts like Gmail, Calendar, Maps, and YouTube. 
In addition, iOS users can generate images through Google’s Imagen 3 model. Three months ago, the company introduced this feature for Gemini Advanced, Business, and Enterprise users to create images of people. The feature was paused for months following criticism that the model generates inaccurate pictures. 
“We’re looking forward to integrating with other models, including Google Gemini, for instance, in the future,” Apple SVP Craig Federighi said in a conversation during the event. The company added that the launch of the Gemini app on iOS is the first step in that direction. 
Notably, Apple’s Siri integration with ChatGPT is currently live in the iOS 18.2 public beta, which means all users could get this feature in a few weeks. Earlier this year, during its Worldwide Developer Conference, Apple announced its plans to integrate Google Gemini with Apple Intelligence.

Recall that in February, Google released the Gemini Android app in the U.S. and later in countries such as Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, and the U.K. Also, the company added support for its Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Portuguese users.&nbsp; 
In June, Google introduced the Gemini app to India and South Asian countries, such as Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Then, the app was featured in nine local languages.

For a while, Google has dominated two core elements of the way we use the internet: search engines and browsers. However, the rise of new AI tools means that dominance is being threatened more than it has ever been in years. 
Meanwhile, Google has been aggressively integrating its latest and most powerful AI model, Gemini, into core products like Search, to deliver conversational and intuitive search experiences. 
Similarly, OpenAI relies on its largest investor, <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/?msockid=33fa7b5ec352652c11a56e7cc2b2646a" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Microsoft</a>, for web access to answer topical queries, using its Bing search engine. Scraping web data to train AI models and search engines, however, has raised concerns about copyright infringement and fair compensation for content creators.

<a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/META.O" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Meta</a> announced two weeks ago that it is currently working on an artificial intelligence-based search engine for optimization. The company made this decision as part of its synergy to reduce dependence on Google and Microsoft’s search engines.&nbsp; 
According to reports, the web crawler will be installed on the company’s chatbot, Meta AI. The Chatbot, available on WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram, will provide users with engaging conversations on current events and answers to their prompts.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Innovation is a crucial point in the ongoing AI search engine race. The AI search engine segment is heating up with ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft all vying for dominance in the rapidly evolving market. 
Meta currently relies on Google and Bing search engines to respond to queries on news, events, stocks, and sports to users. The company added that its AI chatbot will rely on content from the news platform, Reuters to answer users’ questions ranging from news to current events.&nbsp;

Beyond the generative AI technology that Meta already offers in its battle against the other big tech powers, Zuckerberg aims for “general intelligence.” This is focused on creating AI that can perform tasks better than humans.
