At the recently concluded Android Show, just before the Google I/O Developer Conference, Google announced an eagerly anticipated piece of news: its latest AI assistant, Gemini, is set to arrive on Wear OS smartwatches and Google TV. This move is a significant step in Google's plan to gradually replace Google Assistant across all devices and platforms. Users have been eagerly awaiting this moment, and now they can interact with Gemini on multiple devices.
Google stated that this expansion will greatly enrich user experiences, allowing them to conveniently use intelligent assistants without relying on their phones. For example, with Wear OS smartwatches, when your hands are full of flour while cooking or you cannot use your phone while cycling, Gemini can easily lend a helping hand. Users only need to speak naturally to the watch without following strict commands. For instance, in the gym locker room, you can easily set reminders like, "Remember to use locker number 43 today." Meanwhile, Gemini can also connect to various apps, providing information during your workouts.
On Google TV, Gemini will bring personalized content recommendations, making family movie nights more enjoyable. Users can ask the assistant for action movies suitable for children or let kids inquire about questions related to the solar system, and Gemini will automatically play relevant educational videos to help expand their knowledge. Additionally, Gemini's launch will help users manage time and content more efficiently, benefiting the entire family through the assistant's multifunctionality.
Furthermore, Google has integrated Gemini into the Android XR platform, meaning users will soon be able to enjoy this intelligent assistant's services while using head-mounted devices. This means users can use Gemini to get travel suggestions, watch videos, find maps, and more, significantly enhancing the convenience of immersive experiences. Guemmy Kim, an executive from the Android team, stated in a briefing that when the first head-mounted display equipped with Android XR launches later this year, users will be able to create rich holiday plans in minutes.
This series of updates will greatly enhance the interconnectivity between Google devices, improving overall user experience. We look forward to Gemini's official launch in the coming months, bringing more convenience and fun to our lives.
