Google has officially announced that its advanced AI assistant, Gemini, will soon be integrated into smartwatches and cars. This exciting expansion will be supported in vehicles through Google’s Android Auto platform and on smartwatches running Wear OS.

The announcement was made by Google CEO Sundar Pichai during the company’s parent, Alphabet’s Q1 earnings call. Pichai shared that the company is upgrading Google Assistant to Gemini across mobile devices, with plans to extend this upgrade to tablets, cars, and other devices that connect to phones, such as headphones and watches, later this year.

Pichai’s statement highlights the importance of this AI rollout, signaling that Google aims to create a unified AI experience across its entire ecosystem, much like it did with the previous Google Assistant. This move signifies Google’s commitment to enhancing the functionality and interconnectivity of its devices.

While the specifics of the launch timeline remain unclear, with Pichai only indicating it will happen “later this year,” it’s possible that the new features could coincide with the release of the next-generation Pixel smartphones around August. Nonetheless, the integration of Gemini into cars and smartwatches is set to improve the overall experience and create smarter, more seamless interactions across Android devices.
