Enhanced Music Experience Coming to Google’s Gemini AI
In the ever-evolving landscape of voice assistants, Google’s Gemini AI is set to broaden its horizons with a new feature that will delight music enthusiasts. Android users could soon find themselves asking their on-device voice assistant to play their favorite tunes, thanks to an update that was recently unearthed within the Gemini app’s settings.
For those who like to have their music at the tip of their tongue, the update includes an option to “Select preferred services to play music,” hinting at the possibility of integrating with popular music streaming services. Another intriguing addition is the ability to “Choose your default music provider,” suggesting a seamless music experience tailored to user preferences.
Since its integration into the Android operating system earlier this year, Gemini AI has been making waves as a native artificial intelligence chatbot. The music-playing feature was first spotted by a developer known as AssembleDebug, though it remains to be seen if this will be part of the latest Gemini chatbot app or a beta version.
Users looking forward to this update can anticipate the convenience of playing music from platforms like Spotify or YouTube with simple voice commands. Additionally, a song identification feature is in the works, where the AI can listen to music and recognize it. However, it seems that creating playlists may not be included in the feature set at this time.
Earlier in the year, Google navigated through some turbulence when the Gemini AI tool inaccurately depicted historical figures. Despite this, the company has been proactive in expanding the AI chatbot’s reach, even to older Android devices running versions 10 and 11, which was a significant step from its initial availability exclusively on devices with Android 12 or newer.
Last month, Google introduced a customization feature, allowing users to tweak parts of the chatbot’s responses to better suit their preferences, a move away from having to request complete rewrites.
As the digital assistant space continues to grow, features like these underscore the importance of personalization and convenience in technology. With music being a universal language, Google’s Gemini AI is poised to become an even more integral part of users’ daily lives.
