Gemini AI: Google made two big changes, changed the name of the extension..

Google has made two important changes to its Gemini AI. One of these updates is related to the terminology of Gemini tools, while the second change improves the ability of the Gemini chatbot to connect to various apps.

Gemini Extensions will now be called 'Apps'
Google said in its blog post that Gemini extensions will now be called "Apps", although the name of the extensions has not been changed, the word "Extensions" has been completely removed. There will be no mention of extensions in the Gemini web client and app now.

Now the "Extensions" menu will be called "Apps". Under the new change, where earlier it was written - "Gemini Extensions help you bring it all together", now it will be written - "Bring it all together with Gemini and your favorite apps". Similarly, "Turn Gemini Extensions on or off anytime" has also been changed to "Manage which apps Gemini connects to".

The purpose of this change is to show that Gemini now connects directly to the apps, instead of the user having to turn on the extension separately. This will make users feel that Gemini's AI capabilities are already embedded in the apps, so they will feel comfortable giving it access to their apps without any hesitation, although Google has clarified that this change will not affect the functionality.

Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking will give a better experience.

The second major update is related to the improvement in Gemini's AI capabilities. Now these "Apps" (earlier extensions) will be powered by Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking technology. According to Google, this technology will provide a more efficient and faster experience with better performance and advanced reasoning capability.

The direct effect of this will be that Gemini will now be able to complete complex app-based tasks more easily and will also be able to understand the ambiguous commands given by the users in a better way.
