Google will be ripping you off Google Assistant, and replacing it with Gemini, an even more powerful artificial intelligence. Gemini brings advanced features and capabilities which can change the way you experience your Android phone. Compared to Gemini, the existing AI for smartphones falls short and for too long. When it comes to commercialization of AI for the mobile, it is Gemini that stands alone as next generation AI for smartphones.
If you are dying to get from Google Assistant to Gemini, this guide will get you started and show you how to get the most out of Gemini.
What is Google Gemini?
Google Gemini is an AI system that continues beyond the capabilities of the Google Assistant to present a whole new level of interaction on an Android device. Its features include:
- Summarizing text
- Real-time call translation
- Image-based searches
- To create a calendar or routine
- Images from descriptions (will be coming soon)
With its these capabilities, Gemini is a powerful day to day task hitter to productivity, creativity and convenience.
How to Download Gemini
You will have to install the Gemini app on your Android device before you can proceed to make the switch. The Google Pixel 9 Pro or Xiaomi 14T for instance, do come with Gemini preloaded. But if your phone doesn’t have it, you can get Gemini from the Google Play Store.
- Open the Google Play Store.
- Type in the search bar, “Gemini”.
- The app is free and only 5 MB, download and install (it).
Any Android device running Android 10 or later should work just fine, so if you own an Android phone that’s a few years old now and doesn’t support Android 10 or later, Gemini will still work fine.
Replacing Google Assistant with Gemini
Once you install the Gemini App, switching from Google Assistant to Gemini is easy. Here’s how to make the change:
- Using most of your Android device’s, open the Google app.
- You click your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Go to Settings.
- Head to the Google Assistant section.
- Go down and look for Google Digital Assistants.
- Make Gemini your new assistant.
Alternatively, you can change to Gemini directly from your phone’s Settings:
- Go to Settings.
- Look for applications.
- From select Assistant select Gemini and then follow the prompts to swap to Gemini.
- When you’re done with this, your usual Google Assistant shortcut (say, “Hey Google” or pressing the home button) will now invoke Gemini.
Getting Started with Gemini
With Gemini you’ve switched and it’s time to start exploring its expansive features. In this way you can turn on the Gemini via voice command, by pushing down on the lock button or by swiping from the edge of the screen. Here’s what you can expect from Gemini:
- Voice and text commands: Do just as you would with Google Assistant, ask questions, set reminders, or do tasks.
- Visual search and image-based tasks: Search the web or research using images.
- Generate content: You will soon be able to turn descriptions into images and create diagrams or summaries.
- Designed for productivity or creative solutions, Gemini is meant to make your phone smarter and more intuitive.
Bowing in to using Google Gemini rather than Google Assistant, opens the door to a new world. Gemini is an advanced AI with new experience innovations, meaning it’s cutting edge with a flexible and dynamic experience to control you in the AI revolution. Begin using Gemini and change the way you interact with your smart phone.
