A brief YouTube demo by LARRUZ (uploaded March 15, 2024) showing Google’s Gemini model replacing Google Assistant on Pixel phones. The speaker demonstrates new capabilities added at release—voice queries that can access Google Workspace emails to list and summarize subject lines, create tasks, and set reminders—and offers a short opinion about cross-platform availability (would like similar features on iPhone).
Google's AI keeps getting added to more and more products. The newest one is the Pixel Phone. They rolled out a feature where the Gemini model can now replace your Google Assistant. Here's what it does if you paid close attention, yes, they did this right on release. But it couldn't do a lot of things. It couldn't create tasks or look into your emails. Now it can. So here's a little screen recording on how it works. You can use voice input to tell it things like do you have any unread email messages? And then it uses Google workspace to actually look at your emails and it gives you all the subject lines and then you could point prompt on top of that. Summarize all of them, which ones are important, related to my work. Whatever you might be doing, set a reminder to take the trash out or ask about upcoming football matches. And this is one of those use cases where it's just a no brainer. Would I want a better Siri in my iPhone? Absolutely. Will it come for sure when I have no idea. It might be 2,030.
