Personally, I don’t like it as an Assistant replacement: it can’t do routines among other issues.
You must log in or register to comment.
It seems like in its current state it can’t:
- Access personal productivity things - calendar, reminders etc.
- Can’t run routines
- Can’t detect an end of your voice command
Unless I missed some obvious checkbox somewhere, this seems like a half baked replacement to me.
half baked replacement
Google’s specialty
Google Assistant has been neutered and Gemini is not very useful.
Google just really doesn’t know how to do proper feature/product releases.
At least they’ve stopped forcing IM’ing into everything… Haven’t they?
Don’t remind them, please. 🤪
It also doesn’t reactivate the microphone when it needs a follow up answer.
It asked me “which would you prefer?” then just sat there.
I’ve stopped adopting Google products and I think I recommend it for others as well. They limp in with something half-finished, don’t get the adoption a mostly finished product would, then throw up their hands.
Im tryinf to de-cloud all together and expect I can get mostly there within the next 18 months.
If you have patience and a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5, I suspect it’s a better and cheaper (and more future proof) solution.
Gemini Ultra is out now. Gemini Pro has been out for a while, powering Bard. They’ve now ditched the “Bard” name, which I think is a good idea.
This item isn’t available in your country.
Can’t comment on how good it is, but bard seems like a much better wake word than “gemini”.
They’re still using “hey Google” as the wake phrase, which seems weird.
Google always throws the products out half finished and I really don’t understand why.
Hopefully they can stick with this product and not give up in a year like with all the other dead google projects.
Going to time this one with my head of lettuce…
You might actually be able to hold your breath on this one…
Given their history, I wouldn’t count on it :(
Gemini? The protocol equivalent to the cyber Amish?
Oh, Google stuff. Meh
Wake me up when Mycroft is real.
It doesn’t answer me if I ask, “Are you a real AI?” Hah
Also the android app seems to only be available in the USA at this time.
K. Is my life better yet? Is the ai gonna make the law stop exploiting me? Is it gonna make housing affordable? Is it gonna do anything but eat huge amounts of resources to provide novelty while I’m allowed a room in a noisy duplex for all my efforts?
