Google Assistant: Your Hands-Free Helper.

Get instant help with everyday tasks using just your voice. Google Assistant makes it easy to:

- Control your phone: Open apps, adjust settings, turn on the flashlight, and more.

New! Now you can also opt in to Gemini (formerly Bard) from Google Assistant and have it act as your primary assistant from Google on your phone.

Gemini is an experimental AI assistant that gives you direct access to Google’s best family of AI models unlocking new ways to assist you, while still incorporating many of the actions you love in Google Assistant today.

While some of the actions won’t work right away, we are working to support more coming soon. You will be able to switch back to Google Assistant in app settings.

Gemini opt in is rolling out to select devices and countries - opt in to Gemini from your Google Assistant or by downloading the Gemini app.

I loved this app in the beginning. It was amazing and smooth. It truly was like having an assistant right there in the car with you and now..... it absolutely sucks. They've messed it up so badly trying to integrate Gemini into taking over it, that it doesn't do half the things it used to. but also, GEMINI IS AWFUL and does absolutely nothing useful when it comes to driving. Please fix it back.

Google is a nightmare that ruins everything. Not working with Android auto now. The button doesn't even activate the microphone now, it , the thing barely understands anything, it won't look up phone numbers and digs in your contacts when you ask for online information, this morning it woke me at 4am with an alarm I never set and had deleted 4 times, it can't do 80% of what it used to and has basically become a super frustrating and poorly functioning extra search button

Like others have described, the assistant has become less and less functional over time. When I drive, I say "hey Google"and ask it a command. It pops up, listens, acknowledges my response, then does nothing. this happens in my car, on my phone, outside of driving. I have also experienced the "unlock device first" issue. Google used to have a great ecosystem and apps, but you can't live in a house where the manager comes in and keeps changing your furniture (and your locks).
