You\u2019ve no doubt experimented with ChatGPT\u2014and possibly already embedded it firmly into your UX design workflow. But now there\u2019s a new conversational AI tool on the scene: Google\u2019s very own Gemini AI (formerly known as Bard AI).<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re intent on keeping up with the latest AI tools (smart move, by the way), you\u2019ll want to get to grips with Gemini.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So what\u2019s it all about? And how is it useful for UX designers?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We explain everything you need to know about Bard AI\/Gemini so far\u2014and share some examples of how you can use it for better UX.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n

What is Bard AI\/Gemini?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Gemini\u2014formerly known as Bard\u2014 is a conversational chatbot developed and owned by Google. Launched in March 2023, it\u2019s now widely available in more than 40 languages across over 230 countries and territories.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bard AI (aka Gemini) can understand and respond to questions, generate text and image content, write code, translate different languages, find patterns and trends within data, and generate data visualisations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Most exciting, perhaps, is that Bard\/Gemini can access the internet. This means you can use it just like you\u2019d use Google to search the web\u2014but in a more conversational manner, and with more bespoke results.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the <\/span>words of Sundar Pichai<\/span><\/a>, CEO of Google and Alphabet:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBard seeks to combine the breadth of the world\u2019s knowledge with the power, intelligence and creativity of our large language models. It draws on information from the web to provide fresh, high-quality responses. Bard can be an outlet for creativity and a launchpad for curiosity\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

How does Bard AI\/Gemini work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Bard AI or <\/span>Gemini AI<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is Google\u2019s most advanced large language model to date. It uses natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) to simulate human conversations. This enables it to understand user questions and respond in a way that\u2019s both appropriate and useful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
