How to Replace Google Assistant With Gemini AI on Your Android Device

Google Assistant is a staple on Android devices, allowing users to manage tasks and inquiries. Google Gemini is a new AI tool that offers a conversational approach for deeper engagement with information, including content generation, grammar corrections, and language translations. Gemini can search through Gmail, set alarms, make calls, control smart devices, and analyze photos. To use Gemini as the primary assistant, users must have a personal Google or Google Workspace account, but it is not compatible with accounts managed by Family Link or for users under 18. To set up Gemini, users need to ensure Google Assistant is the default assistive app. The Gemini app may already be installed or can be downloaded from Google Play. To activate it, users can follow prompts or change settings in the app. Gemini can be launched by pressing the on/off button or using the "Hey Google" phrase. Gemini can perform various actions, including answering questions, launching apps, generating content, setting timers, translating languages, making calls, retrieving emails, and analyzing photos.
