Gemini is the Google Assistant that I always wanted on my Pixel phone

 

I write this on the eve of Google I/O '25 knowing that more features and new capabilities are on the way but Gemini is the Google Assistant that I always wanted on my Pixel (devices) phone. During the Android Show nearly a week ago now, Google showed off some current features and a few things on the horizon. What has me really excited is that we are set to see Gemini in more places such as on Wear OS and in Android Auto. Google TV will also feature Gemini at some point this year as well. 

As it currently stands, Gemini on my Pixel 9 Pro XL is such a game changer for me. I get fast responses for just about anything I may want to know. For instance, I am a movie buff and whenever I go to the movies I always ask Gemini if there are any end or post credit scenes for the movie I am watching and it lets me know if there are any and what to expect. Another feature is Gemini Live. I was once skeptical but once I tried the feature it is now my go to for so many things. Lately, I've been doing some work around the house and I have been asking Gemini for some tips on what I should use and for the most part the AI has been on point. Not only can I share my devices screen but my camera as well and that is useful for those times I need help with something that may be hard to explain. These examples are somewhat niche but still handy. 

I'm not ripping on Google Assistant by any means and I believe during its time it was the best assistant on the market. In the tech industry there are shifts and AI is the next big one for sure. With Gemini, Google is primed to lead the way not only now but far into the future. The funny thing is that I don't believe that Google has scratched the surface with Gemini and the best is yet to come.

Now, can we get Gemini as the only Assistant on Nest hubs and speakers, Google.
