- Google brings Gemini to wear an operating system
- This is part of a wider deployment to replace Google Assistant through its ecosystem
- The AI assistant has been spotted, this time in the Google OS assistant code
Google plans to replace the assistant through its ecosystem with its powerful Gemini AI, and carry the operating system could be the next platform to obtain the treatment, the code suggesting that the upgrade could be very close.
We know the Gemini who come to carry the operating system for a while, and now the functionality has been spotted buried in the Assistant for Wear OS application, perhaps indicating that a launch could be imminent.
As spotted by 9TO5GOOGLE, the Google Assistant for Wear OS has been updated and now offers several references to Google Gemini buried in its code. Here is what we know and what he tells us about Gemini.
Google Gemini on Wear OS
The code channels reveal the usual popups that you might expect to see following an update of Geus Gemini, in particular “Gemini is now on your watch” and “Start with Gemini: talk naturally and do more with an AI personal assistant on your watch”.
However, the leak also includes some details on the functioning of the functionality and what you could do with it.
“You use Gemini on your phone and now it’s the wizard on your watch. To talk to Gemini, keep the side button or simply say” Hey Google “, if you have turned on this parameter,” said another prompt.
In addition, the 9TO5 reports have presented themselves in code channels, including “define alarms, timeries, the message of your contacts, etc. As the report notes, this is largely similar following the current Google Assistant functions.
Google Gemini has many advanced features for mail, meteorological updates and beyond. It remains to be seen whether these more advanced features will bring the operating system. However, the limited treatment power and the battery even of the best Android smart watches indicate that it is unlikely that we get all the features of the Gemini on Wear OS.
As for a deployment chronology, there is not yet a firm date, but this code observation seems to indicate that the Gemini are indeed very close. One possibility is that Google could reserve the deployment for the advent of Watch 4, which we expect to see to replace the Watch Pixel 3 later this year.
