Next year they will introduce "hAIngouts" as an AI chat bot.

Ouch. Maybe "Google wAIve" for collaborative chats.

> Which is unusually simple. I would expect Google to use 10 more marketing names simultaneously without any logic to the product lines.

I think they were lucky this time that they landed a good name after only a few iterations that has since stuck.

Anyone remember Google Bard or LaMDA?

The r/Bard subreddit is still quite active for some reason. Reminds me of Google Glass.

I still like the name Bard

Didn't it start as Bard?

Well it depends on what you're talking about. The model names were originally called lambda, followed by palm and then finally gemini. The chatbot product was internally known as meena, launched as Bard, and then transitioned to Gemini once the Gemini model came out.

They’ve improved it since the initial launch when the service, model names and plan names all sounded similar and contradictory.

there is vertex ai, notebooklm, antigravity, nano banana, veo, lyria, the open models are gemma and gato
