Google is set to replace Google Assistant with Gemini AI, marking a significant shift towards AI integration in daily life.
Gemini, already available via manual app installation, will soon be the primary assistant on smartphones, tablets, and cars.
The transition aims to enhance device interaction and functionality using advanced AI technologies.
Since June, Gemini is available in Germany, replacing Google Assistant on Android phones with the "Hey Google" command.
New smartphones will ship with Gemini, and existing Google Assistant users will be prompted to switch.
By the end of 2025, Google Assistant will be removed from app stores, making Gemini the sole AI assistant.
Older devices may face integration challenges due to system requirements, while Google addresses updates for speakers, displays, and TVs.
Gemini may struggle with simple tasks and object recognition compared to Google Lens.
