Google accounts are no longer required to access Gemini AI on the web. However, like ChatGPT, some limitations apply.

Since launch, the Gemini app has required that you sign in with your Google Account to access. That’s no longer the case. As of today, visiting gemini.google.com in Incognito Mode or similar takes you directly to the chat interface instead of the previous landing page.

Many of us are most familiar with Google Assistant thanks to its inclusion on the company’s smart speakers, but the humble Assistant has been a key part of every Android phone and tablet since 2016. Now its time is coming to an end.

Google is heavily promoting the Pixel 9a’s Gemini features as a key selling point, but the phone doesn't offer any complimentary AI perks.
