What Google Gemini is
Google Gemini is an AI assistant made by Google. It runs on the web at gemini.google.com and in a mobile app on some phones.
Google says a personal Google Account needs to be 13 or older, or the age set in that country. Accounts managed with Family Link cannot use the Gemini web app, and a Family Link manager can turn off Gemini for a child under 13. Google also lists a free plan and paid Google AI plans.
