A week after Google revealed Gemini, the response it received was not as positive as anticipated. While Gemini appeared groundbreaking and potentially competitive with ChatGPT, the attention seemed to shift towards a demo video showcased during a media presentation and uploaded on YouTube.

The concern arose not only due to Gemini’s actual capabilities but also because many believed that Google had manipulated the effects in the video, which were not generated in real time. Although Google acknowledged this discrepancy promptly, it maintained confidence in Gemini’s capabilities as demonstrated in the video.

However, belief alone lacks credibility in the business community without supporting evidence. In response to the incident, Google arranged another media session focused on showcasing additional features of Gemini Pro, the enterprise-oriented version. Unlike the previous video demos, this session opted for a live demo, featuring Thomas Kurian, the CEO of Google Cloud, who demonstrated the latest innovations.

During the session, the capabilities of Google Gemini Pro were highlighted, indicating that developers could achieve their desired outcomes more efficiently and with simpler methods. A notable addition was the introduction of Google AI Studio, a free web-based developer tool enabling quick prompt development and the acquisition of an API key for app development.

According to Kurian, developers can sign in to Google AI Studio with their Google account, utilize the free quota, and seamlessly transfer their work to their preferred Integrated Development Environment (IDE) by clicking “Get Code.” The API key obtained from AI Studio can also be used in Vertex AI, offering developers a streamlined coding experience.

In summary, the week following the introduction of Gemini saw a mixed reception, prompting Google to address concerns through a live demo session and introducing new features such as Google AI Studio to enhance the developer experience.
