Sundar Pichai Launches Gemini App In India In 9 Languages

Sundar Pichai-led Google has announced the launch of the Gemini mobile app, its AI assistant, in the Indian market. “The app allows you to type, talk, or even add an image to get the assistance you need. Take a picture of a flat tire for instructions on how to change it, or get help writing that perfect thank you note – the possibilities are endless. This marks a significant step forward in our journey to build a truly conversational, multimodal, and helpful AI assistant," the company said. 

Google announced that both the Gemini app and Gemini Advanced, which gives access to its most capable AI models, will now be available in nine Indian languages. The nine languages are Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu. Besides, nine local languages will be added to Gemini Advanced.

Moreover, Google has brought in new features in Gemini Advanced, which has data analysis capabilities, file uploads, and the ability to chat with Gemini in Google Messages in English.
