Not all devices can easily download an updated app – after almost a decade, assistant is baked into many Google products. The company says that Google-driven cars, watches, headphones and other devices that use assistant receive updates that they transfer to Gemini. It is unclear whether all gadgets of assistant-driven part of the migration are part of the migration. Most of these devices connect to your phone, so the update must be relatively easy, even for accessories that were launched early in the assistant era.
There are also numerous independent devices that run assistant, such as TVs and smart speakers. Google says it works on updated Gemini experiences for those devices. For example, there is a Gemini example program for selected Google Nest -speakers. It is unclear whether all these devices receive updates. Google says that there will be more details about this in the coming months.
In the meantime, Gemini still has some reason to make it right. There are basic functions that work well in the assistant, such as setting timers and alarms that can go aside with Gemini. On the other hand, Assistant had a good part of the problems and did not really win many fans. Anyway, this transition can be loaded with the risk of Google, because it comes to a height how people deal with their devices.
