Deal Score0
Google has extended its timeline for replacing Google Assistant with its Gemini AI platform on Android devices to 2026. The delay allows for a smoother, region-based rollout and ensures Gemini achieves feature parity with Assistant before the migration. Initially launched in 2016, Assistant’s full replacement a decade later marks Google’s strategic push to integrate advanced generative AI into everyday user experiences, offering more conversational and context-aware interactions.
