Alphabet's Google on Thursday released a smartphone app for its artificial intelligence chatbot on Apple's App Store that introduced the latest generation of its voice assistant to the popular mobile operating system.

Google’s Gemini generative AI assistant has been made available via a dedicated app on the iPhone for the first time. Although Gemini can already be accessed on iPhones via the web, Google said the app will offer a “more streamlined Gemini experience”,

Gemini is Google’s latest answer to multimodal AI, letting users upload various media types — images, audio, and video — for analysis and interaction. And like ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice Mode, Gemini comes with a feature called Gemini Live, designed to make AI interactions feel more natural and human through voice-based chats.
