This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I knew they were going to end up going full gemini, but this seems too soon to pull such shenanigans, considering it's still slow to respond, can't do several things that assistantcan do, and is 100% useless when not on data.
Make yourself a favor, delete this crap and instead use a real open source (means apache2) AI that performs even better than chatgpt4 or Google ai. Get Mistral 7B.
Does it work like google assistant?
Gemini doesn't work like Google assistant.
It doesn't seem to be able to actually take actions.
Things I used to do with assistant that do not work with Gemini
I don't know about other things like seeing timers or running routines, I shut off Gemini as soon as I realized it couldn't handle my most used requests.
And it still won't be as useful as Google Now
What if I don't use Assistant? Does it still have access to other parts of my phone?
It looks like you can switch the assistant to the old one, and then turn that one off.
But just like Microsoft, Google is going to use this technology everywhere. If in the future (or now, if it is already available to you), you use features to describe images, summarize data, create texts, you probably will be using some form of Gemini.
