The Google Assistant Android app is now Gemini by default
www.androidauthority.com
Google is now changing Assistant to Gemini by default when you download the Assistant app from the Play Store or update it.

This means:

  • Downloading or updating the Assistant app now gives you Gemini instead.
  • You can switch back to Assistant in the Gemini app settings.
  • This might be Google’s first step towards replacing Assistant completely with Gemini.
  • Some users are unaware of the switch and see two Gemini apps on their phones.

Overall, this may suggest Google is phasing out Assistant and transitioning users to the newer Gemini AI technology.

      or, continue making coffee while asking it to remind you to buy milk instead of either stopping to tap or completely forgetting which are the only possible outcomes

        And ask it a second time because it didn’t understand you.

        Well, i guess it depends on your type if it’s for you.

      3 taps to set an arbitrary timer or alarm? No chance.
