Google Gemini: A New Era of AI Assistant, Replacing Google Assistant Soon
Google Assistant, launched in 2016 for Android users, is set to be discontinued as Google makes way for its next-generation AI assistant—Gemini. In a recent blog post, Google announced that the decade-old Assistant will soon be replaced with its advanced generative AI-powered Gemini. The tech giant revealed that “millions of users have already transitioned from Google Assistant to Gemini,” and by the end of this year, Google Assistant will no longer be available for mobile devices or downloads.
Google Assistant to Disappear Across All Devices
Not just smartphones but also tablets, cars, headphones, and smartwatches will gradually transition to Gemini. However, until the shift is fully implemented, these devices will continue to function with Google Assistant. The company has yet to specify how Gemini will operate on different devices, but expectations are high for an enhanced AI-powered experience.
If you haven’t switched to Gemini yet, you can do so easily by downloading the Gemini app from the Google Play Store. Over the past few months, Google has integrated several old Assistant features into Gemini, such as music playback, lock screen controls, and timer settings.
What New Features Does Gemini Offer?
While Gemini is set to redefine AI assistance, some Google Assistant features are still missing. This could be one reason why Google is taking its time to fully transition. The move was anticipated, especially since Google’s upcoming Pixel 9 series is expected to come with Gemini as its default AI assistant.
Users eager to experience the new AI capabilities can download Gemini from the Google Play Store and start using its powerful generative AI features. Google aims to revolutionize the way users interact with AI, making tasks more intuitive and efficient.
