Google's Gemini 2.0: The future of AI assistants starts now!

AT, Österreich - With a bang, Google presented the latest version of its AI model today: Gemini 2.0. This groundbreaking development brings a revolutionary concept into the world of artificial intelligence. In contrast to Gemini 1.0, which primarily deals with the organization and understanding of information, Gemini 2.0 introduces a new era in which AI systems can make decisions independently and actively act on behalf of users-whether hotel bookings or the creation of personalized schedules, here the user experience is raised to a completely new level, as reported today

The new functions include various intelligent assistants that are compatible with Gemini 2.0. Particularly noteworthy is Mariner, a AI agent who acts directly on the web via a chrome extension. Among other things, it can fill out forms and add items to shopping cart. Mariner is still in the test phase and is currently working slowly, but he represents the foundation for future, more powerful AI operations. In addition, Project Astra impresses: This application processes texts, images, videos and audios in real time and remembers earlier interactions, which makes it an improved Alternative to known voice assistants such as Siri or Alexa, reports.

Experimental systems and future options

Also in the spotlight is Jules, an experimental code agent that automatically removes programming errors. This function will help developers concentrate on creative projects instead of spending time with routine tasks. Jules is currently accessible to a selected group of testers and should be available to everyone in early 2025. CEO Sundar Pichai emphasizes that Gemini 2.0 should pave the way to a "universal assistant" who is seamlessly integrated into Google services such as Search, Maps and Lens in order to be able to present multimodal results.

Google assures that data protection has the highest priority by providing users transparent information about data use. Although Gemini has not yet generated significant income, strong growth in the area of generative AI is predicted, which is expected to increase by 37.6 percent annually by 2030. The future of the AI is therefore in the interactive agent area, and with Gemini 2.0 Google takes a courageous step in this direction, as it started with Gemini as its most powerful AI model in the previous year.
