Google<\/strong> has confirmed in a\u00a0blog post\u00a0that its long-standing Google Assistant<\/strong> will be phased out later this year, making way for Gemini<\/strong> as the default AI assistant on Android devices. The transition marks a significant shift in Google\u2019s AI strategy, as one of the\u00a0Gemini<\/a>\u00a0versions follows a subscription-based model, unlike the free-to-use Assistant. Google now claims that Gemini represents the next leap in AI-powered interactions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite the company\u2019s framing of Gemini<\/strong> as an improvement over Assistant, the introduction of a paid tier raises concerns among the users worldwide. The transition from Assistant to Gemini will take place in coming months. Google<\/strong> will upgrade smartphones, tablets, cars, watches, and other accessories connected to Gemini. Google also has plans to integrate Gemini into home devices, including speakers, displays, and TVs. <\/p>
