On Tuesday, Google revealed plans to extend its Gemini artificial intelligence capabilities to a wider array of Android devices. This announcement occurred during The Android Show: I/O Edition, building momentum ahead of Google I/O 2025, scheduled for next week. The Mountain View tech firm indicated that its proprietary AI chatbot will soon be accessible on smartwatches, smart TVs, in-car systems, and various augmented and virtual reality headsets.
Google Planning to Expand Gemini to More Devices
In a recent press release, Google outlined the forthcoming integration of Gemini into new devices and the potential enhancements it will bring to user experience. The company noted that, over the next few months, smartwatches powered by Wear OS will feature Gemini, acting as a hands-free AI assistant for users.
Through this integration, smartwatch users will be able to pose inquiries, set reminders and alarms, and access information from their emails after allowing Gemini to connect with their applications.
Additionally, Google plans to incorporate Gemini into Android Auto and vehicles equipped with Google services, enabling users to engage in natural language conversations with the AI without the need for specific commands or prompts.
In automotive settings, Gemini will assist in navigating routes based on user preferences. For example, a user can request to locate a charging station near a park en route to another destination, allowing them to enjoy a stroll while their vehicle charges. The AI will also be capable of summarizing messages, translating replies, delivering news updates, and more.
Moreover, later this year, Gemini will make its way to smart TVs running Google TV, providing users with an intuitive way to request content suggestions. The AI will deliver customized recommendations for movies and shows.
Google is also teaming up with Samsung to integrate Gemini within its forthcoming mixed-reality headsets. This collaboration will allow Gemini to assist users in addressing queries and resolving issues as they navigate immersive extended realities.
