This means:
- Downloading or updating the Assistant app now gives you Gemini instead.
- You can switch back to Assistant in the Gemini app settings.
- This might be Google’s first step towards replacing Assistant completely with Gemini.
- Some users are unaware of the switch and see two Gemini apps on their phones.
Overall, this may suggest Google is phasing out Assistant and transitioning users to the newer Gemini AI technology.
Make yourself a favor, delete this crap and instead use a real open source (means apache2) AI that performs even better than chatgpt4 or Google ai. Get Mistral 7B.
Good recommendation.
Probably won’t hit quite GPT-4 levels of performance but still good.

Does it work like google assistant?
Gemini doesn’t work like Google assistant.
It doesn’t seem to be able to actually take actions.
Things I used to do with assistant that do not work with Gemini
I don’t know about other things like seeing timers or running routines, I shut off Gemini as soon as I realized it couldn’t handle my most used requests.
well it IS able to call to assistant (this is the only way to interaft with the phone atm) but it seems like it reverse-hallucinates sometimes and forgets that assistant CAN in fact do these things
I know gemini does not. But what I gathered was to replace assistant with Mistral. Unless I misunderstood the comment.
No i meant instead of Google ai there are better and open source alternative. It’s rare enough to have open source alternative better than a product companies invested hundreds of millions in.
Well yes but the original comment states to uninstall the google stuff and get yourself open source ai. With the post itself being about assistant getting replaced I think it’s not an unreasonable assumption.
