Yes, it's that simple, but not really that simple.

For example, Bard is embedded as a chatbot inside Google Messages (at least for some subset of beta users). Imho, this is a killer app sort of feature, but it hasn't been mentioned at all in the Gemini PR.

Also, there's now the new Google One AI Premium sub for $20/mo, which adds Gemini to the older Google One Premium sub ($10/mo). However, that legacy sub was somewhat explicitly positioned as a solution for family sharing, especially of shared data (2TB across metered Google properties). It's unclear whether the new AI Premium sub grants Gemini access to all family members.

I haven't seen anything about this in the public , but I imagine this will also be called Gemini, just as Gemini-integration in other products is simply being called Gemini.

If you are confused about subscriptions, here's another breakdown:

    Basic:      $2/month for 100 GB
    Standard:   $3/month for 200 GB
    Premium:    $10/month for 2 TB
    AI Premium: $20/month for 2 TB + Gemini Advanced (Gemini Ultra chatbot)

Good question about Gemini access for family members. Not sure myself.

They answered this question at the end of last week. Gemini access does not carry across family members. Only the family "master" subscriber gets access to Gemini. So yeah, not gonna happen [in my household].
