Google had previously announced plans to retire Assistant, but delayed the move while adding more features to Gemini. Now, Google says Gemini is ready to take over. Besides Android phones, the transition will also affect Wear OS smartwatches, Android Auto, compatible headphones and other connected devices that rely on Assistant through smartphones. Google has set a retirement date for Google Assistant on Android. Starting September 4, the company will begin shutting down its long-running voice assistant and replacing it with Gemini, its generative AI-powered assistant. The transition will happen gradually over several weeks, but for most Android users, Google Assistant will soon disappear from their phones. The move marks Google’s biggest shift in voice AI since Assistant first launched in 2016 and reflects the company’s wider strategy of putting Gemini at the centre of its ecosystem.Do you think that Google Gemini is beiing brought in to help google to train it models more from user data ?
