Personally, I don’t like it as an Assistant replacement: it can’t do routines among other issues.
“Gemini isn’t currently available. Try again later.”
Bummer. :/
This item isn’t available in your country.
Can’t comment on how good it is, but bard seems like a much better wake word than “gemini”.
Also the android app seems to only be available in the USA at this time.
It seems like in its current state it can’t:
- Access personal productivity things - calendar, reminders etc.
- Can’t run routines
- Can’t detect an end of your voice command
Unless I missed some obvious checkbox somewhere, this seems like a half baked replacement to me.
Google Assistant has been neutered and Gemini is not very useful.
Google just really doesn’t know how to do proper feature/product releases.
