Google Gemini Review: Google Assistant was launched for Android users in 2016, but now Google has announced that it is going to shut it down soon. Google has said in its blog post that the decade-old digital assistant is now going to be replaced by the generative AI-based Gemini. According to Google, “millions of people have already switched from Google Assistant to Gemini” and by the end of this year Google Assistant will not be available on mobile devices and will not be able to be downloaded either.
Complete end of Google Assistant
The end of Google Assistant will not be limited to smartphones. This change will also apply to other devices such as tablets, cars, headphones and smartwatches. However, until this change is fully implemented, these devices will continue to work with Google Assistant. But, the company has not yet clarified how Gemini will work on these devices. This will be a significant change, as Google Assistant is also used in many other smart devices.
Gemini App Startup and Download Process
If you haven’t yet switched from Google Assistant to Gemini, you can download it from the Google Play Store. So far, Google has added many old Assistant features to Gemini, such as playing music, controlling certain tasks from the lock screen, and setting timers. With these features, Gemini now offers the functionality of Google Assistant, giving users a seamless experience.
The Gemini app is extremely simple to use, and it is a good option for those who are looking for a smarter and more personalized experience from Google Assistant. Google says that new features are constantly being added to improve the user experience of Gemini.
What are the new features?
Google Gemini has added some new and interesting features that make it much better than Google Assistant. So far, some old Assistant features like playing music, controlling the phone from the lock screen, and setting timers have been added. Apart from this, Gemini also includes generative AI-based chatbot capability, which makes conversations with users more personal and natural. It is smarter and more versatile than Google Assistant, and aims to give users a new level of experience.
However, some features are still not included in Gemini, such as many features present in Google Assistant. It is possible that some important features are added before Google Assistant is completely discontinued. This change may come into effect in some time, as Google plans to gradually introduce this new AI assistant completely.
Default integration of Pixel 9 series and Gemini
Google recently launched the Pixel 9 series, which includes Gemini Assistant by default. This move has made it clear that Google is ready to completely transition its assistant to Gemini. For users of Pixel devices, this change has already been implemented, and now this change is being fully adopted for the rest of the devices as well.
If you also want to experience Gemini, then you can easily download it from Google Play Store and leave the old version of Google Assistant. Along with this, Google is gradually adding new features to make its technology even more advanced.
The end of Google Assistant and the launch of Gemini is a big change, which will provide AI based smart experience to the users in future. While Google Assistant supported the users for many years, Gemini on the other hand is now coming with new technology, which will provide even more smart and personalized service. However, this change will happen gradually and will be implemented in all devices only after some time.
