Google announced an expansion of its Gemini service today. The app, along with Gemini Advanced, are now available in India and four more countries – Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Turkey.
The Gemini chatbot for Messages, generally used for crafting messages or brainstorming ideas, is now available on more devices, not only select Pixel or Samsung Galaxy smartphones. According to the support page, any phone with 6 GB RAM or higher can use the app.
The chatbot, is available in French in Canada and English in select countries. Gemini in Messages is currently available in over 165 regions, but noticeably, zero EU countries have it. Google promises to release the platform to users in more languages and places.
Getting back to the Gemini app, Google said it is “particularly excited” expanding the service in India, “given the strong mobile first-culture”. There is support for English and nine Indian languages: Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayam, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu.
The same stands for Gemini Advanced, powered by 1.5 Pro and its 1-million token context window, document uploads, and data analysis.
