Google’s Gemini Assistant is Coming to Older Pixel Buds

Google recently released the Pixel Buds Pro 2, which features support for its chatbot, Gemini. If you’re an owner of older Pixel Buds models, you might have felt left out. But worry no more, as Google has announced that Gemini is coming to all Pixel Buds models, including the first-generation Pixel Buds Pro and the Pixel Buds A-series.

Availability and Requirements

Gemini will be available on your earbuds if you have it set as your default assistant on your Android phone. This means you won’t need to do anything extra to get started, as long as you’ve got the latest software installed.

How Gemini Works on Pixel Buds

Once you’ve got Gemini enabled on your Pixel Buds, you’ll be able to use it to chat with friends, get updates on your schedule, and even control your smart home devices. However, you’ll need to have an unlocked Android phone connected to your Pixel Buds in order to get personalized responses from Gemini. If you remove or disconnect the buds, you’ll stop receiving personalized responses, but you can change this behavior in the Pixel Buds digital assistant settings.

What’s Missing?

While Gemini will work on your Pixel Buds, some features might work differently than they do on your phone. Google didn’t provide specifics on which features might be affected, but it’s likely that some functionality will be tailored to the earbud format.
