Google Assistant to Be Phased Out and Replaced by Gemini AI in 2025

Google announces plans to transition most devices from Google Assistant to the AI-powered Gemini, marking a major shift in its assistant strategy.

Google Assistant will no longer be accessible on most mobile devices or available for download by the end of 2025, with Gemini taking its place.
The transition includes Android devices running version 10 or later with at least 2GB of RAM, while older devices will retain Google Assistant functionality.
Gemini will expand beyond smartphones to tablets, cars, wearables, headphones, and home devices such as smart speakers, displays, and TVs.
Key Gemini features include multimodal conversations with Gemini Live, advanced research capabilities, and integration with popular apps like Spotify and WhatsApp.
The move reflects Google's focus on generative AI to deliver a more personalized and interactive assistant experience, with further updates expected in the coming months.
