Google recently launched Gemini, the new multi-modal artificial intelligence built into Bard, with variants such as Nano for mobile devices, Pro for a wide range of applications and Ultra for complex tasks. However, the news that the Gemini Ultra will arrive in 2024 and the geographical limitation that excludes Europe from the Gemini Pro may be discouraging for the most impatient.
But don’t worry, we are going to tell you how you can use Google Bard with Gemini Pro in Spain for free and without waiting.
The first barrier to overcome is the geographical limitation established for the European Union and the United Kingdom. You can easily get around this hurdle by using a VPN. For example, through the Opera browser, which has a built-in VPN function.
After downloading and installing Opera, go to the icon with the three horizontal stripes, enter VPN and activate the function. If you want an automatic connection when starting the browser, select the corresponding option.
It’s crucial to note that Gemini on Bard only supports English at the moment. Therefore, you need to adjust your Google Account settings to use US English as the default language. Go to your Google profile, search for ‘General web preferences’ under ‘Personal information’ and select US English in the ‘Language’ section.
Once the previous steps are completed, access Google Bard from the same browser. You’ll see a notification at the top indicating that an update has been made. If it doesn’t appear, tap the red dot question mark icon and check the update log to find the Gemini Pro version. If you can’t find it, you can also ask Bard directly about the update.
From then on, with the update already done, you will be able to explore the improvements that Gemini Pro offers compared to the standard version of Google Bard.
It should be remembered that Gemini Pro is a multimodal system that allows you to work with different types of input and output, not limited only to text, but offering much more. This versatility provides “a smarter and more reliable experience,” according to its own developers.
By combining the VPN change and language settings, you can immerse yourself in the Gemini Pro experience on Google Bard, enjoying its enhanced capabilities and contributing to a richer interaction with Google’s artificial intelligence.
