Google Assistant works with time borrowed as the technology giant announced today (March 14) that it will slowly start to replace Google Assistant with Gemini. Google Assistant has existed since 2016, and we have all used to say “Hey Google” for a better part of a decade now. However, this switch is something that has been on the cards for several months now. Recent rumors have even indicated a new word of awakening in preparation, so it feels like we saw it happening.
In a Keyword postThe company said that it would improve Google Assistant with Gemini, “offering a new type of help with the power of AI”. It is said that the upgrade would bring personalization to a whole new level, because the gemini can interact with other applications on the phone to better understand the choices of the user.
Google says millions of users have gone from the use of Google Assistant to Gemini. That said, no longer having to choose between Gemini and the assistant could be a step in the right direction, especially since Google has worked to improve the capacities of Gemini and provide assistant features.
Although we do not know when it is set in motion for users as a whole, the company has suggested that most devices will eventually have Gemini instead of Google Assistant by the end of 2025.
“In the coming months, we improve more users on Google Assistant mobile devices Gemini“The company said in the keyword. With this later this year, users will no longer be able to download Google Assistant in their mobile application stores because it will no longer be accessible.
Not only phones, but all other devices that use the assistant will also be upgraded to Gemini powered by AI. The company will bring this change to its range of laptops and home devices such as headphones, watches, speakers and televisions. We assume that it will be deployed in phases in the coming months, by then, the Google assistant will continue to live on devices and work as usual.
Finally, Google says that “it is just beginning” with this integration of Gemini. Once Gemini replaces the assistant, the company will bring features like Live Gemini and Deep researchThis will help transform Gemini into “a personal research assistant”.
However, it is important to note that Google Assistant will continue to operate as usual for phones that cannot execute Gemini.
