Gemini

Gemini is Google's suite of artificial intelligence models and tools, which has reached one billion monthly active users. The technology powers various services, including embedded chatbots on the federal portal America.gov and features on Pixel 11 devices that allow the AI to make phone calls to businesses. Google also operates a pilot program paying around 100 digital publishers for content used in the Gemini chatbot and AI Overviews. In recent developments, Google is restructuring its subscription tiers starting in October 2026. Free personal users are restricted to the Flash-Lite model, while subscribers to the cheaper AI Plus tier lose access to the Pro model, meaning users must subscribe to the AI Pro or AI Ultra tiers to access all three models. Additionally, Google is shutting down its custom AI assistant feature, known as Gems, and migrating users to a new skills system starting in November 2026. For enterprise users, Constellation is deploying Gemini Enterprise to help plan nuclear plant upgrades and optimize energy output. Gemini Enterprise has also added a Live Avatar feature for animated and realistic lip-syncing.
