Answer
Bard
Google launched Bard in March 2023 as its conversational AI chatbot to compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT, powered by Google's LaMDA (Language Model for Dialogue Applications) technology.

In February 2024, Google rebranded Bard as Gemini and integrated it more deeply across its product ecosystem, including Google Search and Pixel phones.
