Google is rebranding Bard as Gemini across its AI suite and is seemingly dropping the Gemini name from its AI models, which will now be called Pro 1.0 and Ultra 1.0.
The company is also launching Gemini Advanced, available with Ultra 1.0, starting today as part of a new Google One AI Premium subscription.
Gemini, the company's AI chatbot, will be available natively on mobile in a new Gemini app for Android starting today. Gemini will appear in the Google app for iOS in the coming weeks.

I've played around with Gemini on my Pixel and... It's not all that helpful.

It can't integrate with any other service like calendars, Home, or emails. It asks followup questions, but doesn't turn the mic back on so you can respond. It's not even particularly good for search because it's so verbose.

Oh and it doesn't automatically reply by speaking. You have to press a mic button to get it to talk.

Overall, a half-baked product and not a replacement for the already knee capped Assistant.
