Everything Gemini, Google’s new AI for Android, can and can’t do on your mobile

Just yesterday, Google announced that it had replaced Bard with Gemini on Android phones. In fact, it has been known for months that the tech giant’s intention was to include Bard in Google Assistant, but In the end, Gemini will be the main protagonist. Although this new application for Android is not yet available in Europe, there are certain tasks that its AI performs and others that it does not, which is why this summary includes all its experience.

From the Gemini mobile app support page, Google highlights some of the Assistant features that aren’t yet available in Gemini. And there are some very important ones that many users have become accustomed to, like Assistant routines or music streaming services.

But it doesn’t stop there since some services available, they are not fully functioning As with controlling Google Home devices, when a request is entered, nothing happens. And this is where another limitation of Gemini comes in when activated via a voice shortcut in the assistant: it processes the voice command and displays the text on the screen, but you have to press the send button to that it responds to the application.

Gemini brings a large series of new features related to experiences already known to ChatGPT or Microsoft’s Copilot in its update yesterday. Better yet, they are now available from the user’s hand via their smartphone.

What Gemini Can’t Do Now

Below you can read the features and services that have been used in Google Assistant and are currently not available when Gemini is enabled on mobile:

• Media Content Service Providers: Podcasts, news and radio stations, and other third parties dedicated to music are currently not available on Gemini.
• Routines: Starting a Google Assistant routine is not yet available. On Android phones, the shortcuts to start one or more alarm-related routines in the clock app simply don’t work.
• Reminders: You must use Google Assistant to be able to set reminders and tasks.
• Performer mode: You must use the Wizard to use this mode.

Hay some other details in the experience with Gemini from Google, this is how it is collected Android Font, and interactions via certain voice commands take a long time to process. Like Gemini, it can be confused with certain queries, such as how much battery is left when “on this phone” is not specified.

Everything Gemini can do

And below you will find all the advantages linked to the generative artificial intelligence of the new application for Android; waiting for it to arrive in Europe soon and thus offer any smartphone this series of experiences:

• Help to write texts, give ideaslearn and much more.
• Make summaries and quickly find information from Gmail or Google Drive.
• Generate images with AI.
• Use text, voice, photos and mobile camera to help the user in different ways.
• On Android, you have to say “Hey Google” to ask for help with what’s on your phone’s screen.
• Make plans with Google Maps and Google Flights.

And then, according to 9to5Google, everything that can be done when Gemini invokes Google Assistant to perform the tasks that users have been accustomed to on Android for years:

• Create or edit alarms and timers.
• make phone callssend messages and read incoming messages.
• Control the device: turn on the flashlight or Bluetooth connection, or open a certain app.
• Control lights, home security and other smart home devices.
• Send messages to connected devices at home.
• Read a website out loud (Pixel 8 or higher).
• On a Pixel, you can request help with “Help me with my Pixel” (Pixel 8 or higher).

Finally, everything Gemini can’t do now It’s more due to these first bugs found in the first version of the application, instead of intentional omissions on the part of Google. A nice arrival for Android phones and enjoy all the advantages of Gemini’s generative AI.
