Google has been working on Gemini AI as an alternative, to its assistant, Google Assistant for Android smartphones. Up to now Gemini AI has solely been accessible on Pixel phones prompting users to select between it and Assistant. However recent findings suggest that Google is preparing Gemini AI for a screen. The Android tablet.
An examination of the Google Search app by 9to5Google revealed code references indicating that Gemini AI is set to make its way onto tablets. The code snippets mention that Gemini AI will manage tasks and possess system permissions on tablets. Interestingly the code also hints at the possibility of both Gemini AI and Assistant coexisting on tablets unlike phones where only one can be active, at a time.
A Promising Future for Gemini AI
When 9to5Google put Gemini AI to the test, on a Pixel Tablet they discovered that it is already able to work alongside Assistant. This hints at Google potentially fully integrating both assistants on tablets in the future. With a screen space Gemini AI could truly expand its capabilities to provide an improved experience driven by Artificial Intelligence.
The introduction of Gemini AI on the Pixel Tablet paves the way for Google to bring its AI technology to a range of Android devices. As Gemini AI continues to learn and develop skills it might eventually take over from Assistant as the digital assistant, across Googles software lineup. Only time will reveal how far Gemini AI can push its capabilities.
