Google is bringing its artificial intelligence assistant Gemini, Wear OS to a wider range of devices, including Wear OS smartwatches and Google TV. This move aims to provide users with seamless access to Gemini beyond just phones, letting them interact with the assistant during activities such as exercising or relaxing at home.
Soon, smartwatch users will be able to engage with Gemini right from their wrists, especially when handling tasks where using a phone could be inconvenient or messy. For instance, if someone is cooking or in the middle of a workout, they can set reminders or get information simply by speaking naturally to their watch.
Gemini’s Arrival on TV and Extended Reality Devices
On Google TV, Gemini will deliver personalized suggestions, making it easier for users to find appropriate content, like a list of action movies suitable for children. The assistant will also answer questions, such as providing educational YouTube videos if a child is curious about the solar system.
The company plans to roll out Gemini on Google TV later this year, broadening the range of smart home uses for its AI. Additionally, Gemini will be powering the new Android XR platform for immersive devices like headsets and smart glasses.
Google revealed that the first headset equipped with Android XR, developed with Samsung under Project Moohan, is set to release this year. With Gemini, Wear OS on these devices, users can do things like plan entire vacations in an immersive environment, accessing a combination of videos, maps, and local insights.
In the coming months, Gemini will also make its way into Android Auto. With this integration, drivers can request assistance with finding charging stations, getting updates on news, or summarizing text messages while on the road.
These enhancements reflect Google’s accelerating shift from its long-standing Google Assistant to the more adaptable and conversational Gemini platform. With rollouts planned for mobile, wearable, automotive, and home devices, the company is setting the stage for a more integrated AI assistant experience across its ecosystem.
