About a decade after the arrival of Google assistant, the software is getting sunset because Mithun AI takes its place. On Friday, Google announced that before the end of 2025, Gemini would replace Google assistant on most mobile devices. According to report, the only exception will be equipment with less than 2GB of Android 9 or before.
Google claims that millions of people have already switched to switch and use Gemini instead of Google assistant. Now, Google has accelerated everyone else, whether they like it or not. The company explained that most users will be automatically upgraded to Gemini in the coming months, and by the end of 2025, “Google assistant will no longer be accessible on most mobile devices or will not be available for new downloads on the mobile app store.”
This will not just be your phone, either. Gemini is coming in pills, cars, watches and headphones. There is also a Gemini-powered experience in tasks for household appliances such as speakers, smart displays and TV. Originally, if it connects to the Internet, it is getting Gemini.
As the extensive switch begins with Geogle Assistant, Google says it “continues to focus on improving the quality of Gemini experience day-to-day experience, especially for those who have come to rely on Google assistant.”
Google is associated with a blog post that compares both for those who are different and they share the features. Gemini can now do almost everything, which can be Google helpful, from providing weather forecasting and creating a calendar event to searching for flights and sending messages. The biggest difference is that Gemini is powered by AI.
Time for Apple may not be worse, which delayed its AI-operated Siri reboot the failure that the company is internally referring to “ugly and embarrassing”. While other phone manufacturers are moving at full speed with AI, Apple is trapped in neutral.
