Google has announced that it will be phasing out Google Assistant in favour of its AI-powered assistant, Gemini.
The tech giant who announced in a blog post, emphasised that generative AI is transforming how people interact with technology.
“Over the coming months, we’re upgrading more users on mobile devices from Google Assistant to Gemini; and later this year, the classic Google Assistant will no longer be accessible on most mobile devices or available for new downloads on mobile app stores,” the company revealed.
- Millions of users have already transitioned from Google Assistant to Gemini, with Google highlighting positive feedback about its AI-driven features.
- The transition will occur gradually, starting with mobile users, and eventually expanding to other devices.
“We believe an assistant should be personal to you, and aware of the world around you. It should be able to interact with the apps and services you already use. And it should make you more productive, more creative and a bit more curious.
“Nearly a decade later, we’re in the midst of another platform shift — this time, generative AI is transforming the way we interact with technology,” Google stated.
