Google has officially launched Gemini 3, heralded as the company’s most significant advancement in its artificial intelligence tools to date. This innovative model is now accessible in Canada via the Gemini app, the Gemini API for developers, and through Vertex AI tailored for businesses.
The tech giant asserts that Gemini 3 enhances reasoning capabilities, fortifies multimodal functionality, and offers more engaging responses.
It possesses the ability to simultaneously process images, video, and text, ingeniously designed to comprehend intricate prompts with minimal back-and-forth interactions.
CEO Sundar Pichai articulated the company’s aspiration to unify all the functionalities of Gemini into one cohesive and intelligent system.
“We’re introducing Gemini 3, our most advanced model that amalgamates all of Gemini’s features so you can turn any concept into reality,” he remarked on Tuesday.
He emphasized that this iteration excels in reasoning, adeptly grasping depth and nuance, and is significantly more astute in discerning the context and intent behind user requests.
New Features in the Gemini App
In tandem with the launch, Google is deploying a revamped Gemini app, characterized by a more streamlined interface and novel tools that adapt to user intentions. The company is piloting “generative interfaces,” which enable the app to fabricate bespoke layouts dynamically. These formats may resemble magazine-style compositions or interactive panels tailored to user prompts.
For instance, soliciting Gemini to arrange a holiday could yield a visually striking itinerary complete with photographs and interactive modules. Similarly, requesting an exposition on an art gallery might produce an engaging guide that users can navigate, akin to a mini-application.
Gemini Agent Handles Multi-Step Tasks
A particularly noteworthy enhancement is the Gemini Agent feature, capable of executing multi-step tasks seamlessly within the app. It can organize your inbox, oversee your calendar, or facilitate bookings by sourcing details from Gmail.
Google claims that it employs Gemini 3’s reasoning capabilities to deconstruct tasks into manageable segments, always seeking user confirmation for actions such as reservations or messaging.
The Gemini Agent will initially be available in the U.S. for Google AI Ultra subscribers, leaving Canadian users on the sidelines for now. The company envisions this feature as a pivotal progression toward a versatile AI assistant.
Tools for Developers
Additionally, Google has unveiled Antigravity, a novel development platform designed for creating “agentic” applications—essentially, tools capable of performing tasks autonomously, rather than merely responding to commands.
Gemini 3 is now accessible through the Gemini API, AI Studio, Antigravity, and the Gemini CLI.
A wealth of information was shared, so here’s a concise overview of the availability of Gemini 3 tools for Canadian users versus those exclusive to the U.S. at launch.
Where Gemini 3 Is Available
In Canada:
- Gemini app (consumer)
- Gemini API, AI Studio, Antigravity, Gemini CLI (developers)
- Vertex AI & Gemini Enterprise (business)
U.S. Only:
- AI Mode in Search (Google AI Pro & Ultra)
- Gemini Agent (Google AI Ultra)
Google’s Long-Term Vision
Pichai remarked that Gemini 3 builds upon prior iterations, edging the company closer to a truly personalized and assistive AI.
“In this new chapter, we will continue to explore the boundaries of intelligence, agency, and personalization, striving to make AI genuinely beneficial for all,” he stated.
He further emphasized the rapid advancements in the field: “It is remarkable that in merely two years, AI has transformed from basic text and image comprehension to interpreting complex social dynamics.”
Google has announced that the global rollout of Gemini 3 Pro commences today, introducing features such as “Deep Think” for advanced reasoning and elevated limits for subscribers.
While Google accelerates forward with Gemini, Apple’s efforts with Siri and Apple Intelligence remain in a struggle for efficacy.
