Google to Replace Assistant with AI-Powered Gemini Across Devices

The transition to Gemini will phase out Google Assistant later this year, introducing a more personalized and AI-driven experience.

Google has announced that its legacy Assistant will no longer be accessible on most devices by the end of the year, with Gemini becoming the default virtual assistant.
The transition includes Android smartphones, tablets, smart home devices, cars, and wearable tech such as headphones and watches.
Gemini aims to surpass Assistant’s capabilities by integrating AI to offer personalized interactions, app integration, and enhanced productivity tools.
Devices with less than 2GB of RAM or running Android versions below 10 may retain access to Google Assistant as Gemini requires higher specifications.
Gemini is already available in over 40 languages and 200 countries, with millions of users having adopted it since its launch.
