Google AI Pro plan also offers 2TB of cloud storage across apps like Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos.
Reliance is offering free access to Google’s premium AI features for 18 months
Reliance and Google's partnership is going to bring Jio users benefits worth Rs. 35,100. Announced on Thursday, the two companies are coming together to offer 18 months of free access to the Google AI Pro subscription. This means these users will be able to access premium artificial intelligence (AI) models, including the company's latest image generation and video generation models. However, not everyone will be able to avail this big offer, as there are certain eligibility criteria. Let us take a detailed look at this Reliance-Google deal.
Once you activate the Google AI Pro plan, which costs Rs. 1,950 a month normally, you can get higher access to Gemini 2.5 Pro. Additionally, you will also get to use AI models such as Deep Research on 2.5 Pro, which is not available on the free tier. However, the biggest attraction is access to Veo 3.1 Fast.
Veo 3.1 Fast is Google's part of the frontier video generation model family, which lets you type a text description and generate a video with native audio enabled. The coders can take advantage of higher daily request limits in the Gemini command line interface (CLI) and Gemini Code Assist IDE extensions.
The subscription also adds the Gemini sidebar to Google Workspace apps, such as Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and more. When working on these platforms, users will be able to use Gemini for a wide range of tasks.
Additionally, it also brings perks such as higher access to NotebookLM, the AI filmmaking tool Flow, and the image-to-video generation platform Whisk. And of course, for the duration of the subscription, users also get access to 2TB of storage across Drive, Gmail, and Photos.
Reliance said that the offer will initially be available to users aged 18 to 25 who have recharged with an unlimited 5G plan. However, the company plans to expand the offer to include all Jio users across the country in the coming weeks. Notably, in July, the Mountain View-based tech giant offered access to the same plan for 12 months, but it was limited to eligible college and university students only.
Can I get this offer if I'm not on a 5G plan?
No. To access the offer, you need to have an active unlimited 5G plan.
Is this better than the Airtel Perplexity Pro offer?
Airtel's Perplexity Pro offer is available for 12 months, while Google's plan is available for 18 months. Google's plan also offers a wider range of services.
What if I'm a Jio user but not 18-25 years old?
Then you will have to wait for a little longer. Reliance has said that it will bring the offer to all Jio users shortly.
