Google recently announced Gemini 2.0 as its new major language model that goes directly on Android to offer special functions and thus become an assistant with AI that will replace the denostado Google Assistant. A few days ago the exact date for its disappearance was learned and now the 7 functions that will disappear are known.
The experience will change, since some of the functions to which the user was accustomed will disappear and Gemini will become the assistant with generative artificial intelligence as its maximum experience. It has already been seen how it works with Google Home and those voice commands that are more natural and not so strict, since there is room to ‘send’ the AI as if it were a person.
The disappearance of seven special functions Google Assistant adds to another 18 that were lost to early 2024 on Android, smart screens and speakers. An experience that will change greatly to give space to the generative AI and thus be the basis on which to continue improving, since it can be said that it is before the beginning of the transformation of smartphones as they have been known.
What Google has done is Diversify these functions To locate them in certain devices or through routines or adjustments, so that some of them continue to exist, although you will have to forget to use Google Assistant. The greatest change is that of the interpreter way that will be taken to the Google Translate app to give even more functionality.
Then the list of 7 special functions that Google from Assistant will eliminate as it could be read in its Support page To give way to Gemini as the advanced assistant who will improve the Android experience:
- Mark as a favoriteshare and ask where and when the photos were taken with the voice: this function will still be allowed although only through an intelligent screen and tablet.
- Change frame settings of a photo or the ambient screen with the voice: it will go to the settings of the smart screen.
- Translate your conversation in real time With someone else who does not speak the same language with the interpret mode: the only thing that remains is to translate a unique word or phrase from one language to another.
- Receive notifications Birthday as part of the routines: the assistant can be asked to put a reminder for birthdays.
- Request to program or listen Previously a programmed announcement of the Family Bell function.
- Receive daily updates of the assistant as would “give me the daily time”: it can be done, but through the personalized routines.
- Use Google Assistant in car accessories that have a Bluetooth connection or an aux plugin.
A moment of transition that is being received with dislike by certain users, but that as soon as it ends in the coming months (the exact date is unknown) will allow other experiences more dedicated to AI and a more natural conversation with the assistant according to 9to5google.
