Google’s got a fresh name for its smart AI thing, app, and the plan you pay for.
Google’s been up to some AI upgrades, swapping Bard for Gemini, dropping a fresh Android app, and more. Now, Google’s generative AI comes with a price tag for the first time. Brace yourself for another digital subscription. In this part, let’s dive into the advanced features of Google Gemini that you get with the new Google One AI Premium subscription.
Google One AI Premium: Cost and How to Get It
Want the Google One AI Premium package? It’s up for grabs right now at $19.99 a month (in the U.S.), £18.99 (in the U.K.), ₹1950.00 (in India)or AU$32.99 (in Australia). No yearly payment option this time, but hey, you can bail out whenever you want.
Guess what? As of now, Google is being generous with a two-month free trial for the AI Premium plan. Yup, no charges for the first two months. Go ahead, check out the plans on the Google One website, and see if it’s your thing.
Google One AI Premium: What’s in It for You?
First things first, with Google One AI Premium, you get a whopping 2TB of storage to spread across your Google services – think Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos. If you’re hitting the limit of the free 15GB storage, here’s a solid reason to level up.
Now, there are other Google One plans with storage ranging from 2TB to 30TB, but the one with the extra cool stuff is the Google One AI Premium plan. It’s the one with the Gemini Advanced capabilities.
Beyond just more room for your digital stuff, all Google One plans come with some perks. That includes top-notch support, a 10% kickback in the Google Store, extra Google Photos editing tricks (like the Magic Eraser), a service keeping an eye on the dark web for your personal info, and access to the Google One VPN.
Google talks big about Gemini Ultra 1.0, calling it super smart and able to handle tough jobs like text, pictures, and code. If you want the best from Google’s AI, this is the one.
The biggest version, Ultra 1.0, is a big deal. Google says it’s the first to beat humans at MMLU (massive multitask language understanding). It tackles 57 subjects, including math, physics, history, law, medicine, and ethics, testing how well it knows stuff and solves problems, according to Google CEO Sundar Pichai.
If you’re on Android, there’s a special Google Gemini app just for you. And if you’re on iOS, don’t worry, Gemini features are in the regular Google app. Everyone gets them, no need to be a special member. But hey, if you go for the fancy plan, you get the even better Ultra 1.0 model everywhere.
What’s the early take on Google’s AI Premium?
Trying out Google’s One AI Premium Plan with the Gemini Advanced for free for two months might be a smart move if you want to play around with top-notch AI tools. Just be sure to cancel it if you’re not into it.
But here’s the catch: Gemini Advanced is still new. We haven’t tried it out or stacked it up against ChatGPT Plus. Plus, its link to Google’s productivity tools is in the works, but we don’t know when that’s happening.
