Google is launching Gemini, a new personal assistant available on various platforms, including Wear OS, Android Auto, Google Built-in, and Google TV. This assistant allows users to interact using natural language.
Features of Gemini
Wear OS Integration
- Users can give verbal reminders or ask for event details by simply speaking to their devices.
- Example commands include:
- "Hey Gemini, remind me to pick up milk at 5 pm today."
- "What’s my schedule like tomorrow?"
Google Workspace Integration
- Gemini is integrated across Google Workspace apps, enabling it to access information from users’ calendars and emails.
- Users can interact with the assistant while driving through car dashboard apps.
Productivity on the Go
- Drivers can ask questions or give commands to Gemini while driving, enhancing productivity.
Text Summarization and Translation
- Users can request summaries of texts or translate messages into other languages using voice commands:
- "Summarize this text."
- "Translate this message into Spanish."
Book Club Assistance
- Gemini can provide a synopsis of Pride and Prejudice along with discussion points when asked about Jane Austen’s novel in conversation mode.
Insights from Google
According to Guemmy Kim, senior Android UX director at Google, “Gemini works seamlessly with our car dashboard apps.” The assistant will first go live in the Android Auto app before being integrated into cars manufactured with Google’s operating system through Google Built-in.
Trends in AI Integration
The release of Gemini follows a trend seen in streaming platforms like Netflix, which have recently added AI features, including an AI-powered chatbot called Optimal Playlists. This suggests a move towards more personalized recommendations based on user preferences.
Gemini on Google TV
Gemini will also be available on Google TV, where users can:
- Ask for custom movie recommendations using natural language (e.g., “I love rom-coms”).
- Pull up information about educational YouTube videos (e.g., “What are some documentaries about space?”).
