Google has announced that its artificial‑intelligence assistant Gemini will become the default assistant across every Google‑branded device in the near future. During a special “Android Show,” the company showcased updates from Android 16 to Wear OS 16—and revealed that Gemini is expanding to many new platforms.
Driving With Gemini on Android Auto
As long as your Android phone is connected to your car, Gemini will let you reach essential settings and functions hands‑free. You can speak to the assistant naturally, asking it to perform specific tasks—for instance, “Send a message to Mom in Spanish from now on,” or “Find nearby charging stations.” In the background, Gemini taps into Google Maps to pull up destinations and can fetch addresses from Gmail or queue the exact track you want on YouTube Music or Spotify.
Hands‑Free Chats Through Gemini Live
The presentation also featured Gemini Live, which enables real‑time voice conversations on any topic. Whether you’re commuting, catching up on news, or prepping for meetings, Gemini Live offers a natural, back‑and‑forth discussion to keep you informed and organized.
Talking to Your Wrist: Gemini on Wear OS
On smartwatches running Wear OS, the assistant will require an internet connection via your phone or the watch’s own cellular service—yet some features will process on‑device. Just raise your wrist and talk; Gemini can pull context from other Google apps so you don’t have to dig out your phone.
Smarter Recommendations on Google TV
Entertainment hubs aren’t left out. Gemini will live inside Google TV devices, helping you discover what to watch next with personalized, AI‑powered suggestions.
Immersive Experiences on Android XR
Finally, Google confirmed that Gemini is heading to Android XR devices, beginning with Samsung’s first XR headset due later this year. Acting as the primary interface, Gemini will leverage multimodal vision and audio to respond to what you see and hear. Imagine planning a trip while surrounded by videos, maps, and local tips—Gemini can lay out your entire itinerary in minutes, making the research feel vivid and immersive.
With deep integration across Android Auto, Wear OS, Google TV, and Android XR, Google’s Gemini is poised to become the always‑available assistant that follows you from your pocket to your car, your living room, and beyond.
