Gemini (formerly Bard) is a conversational generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by Google. It was initially based on the LaMDA family of large language models (LLMs), and later on PaLM. It was developed as a direct response to the rise of OpenAI's ChatGPT, and was released with limited features in March 2023 before expanding to other countries.
