Gemini offers a free version for everyone, and a paid version called Gemini Pro with advanced features.
Overall, the search interest around AI in the Philippines is a reflection of the country’s growing technological awareness, economic aspirations, educational initiatives, government support, and the global trend towards AI adoption.
