Erase Distractions: Gemini’s Smart Unlock-Free Calls and Texts Coming Soon
Google’s AI Assistant, Gemini, Takes Another Step Closer to Replacing Google Assistant
Imagine having your phone’s AI assistant at your beck and call, even when your screen is locked. Sounds like science fiction, right? Well, it’s not – thanks to Google’s latest updates on its Gemini Live AI assistant.
In an exciting development, the tech giant is set to infuse Gemini with the ability to make calls and send messages, even when your phone is locked. This feature is currently reserved for Google Assistant, but it looks like Google is about to change the game.
Here’s the scoop: as part of an unreleased code snippet, Android Authority discovered that Gemini will soon allow users to control their phone while it’s locked. This includes sending messages and making calls, all without having to unlock the device. This is a major move for Gemini, positioning it as a strong contender to replace Google Assistant.
What exactly does this mean for you?
- Say goodbye to the frustration of having to unlock your phone to send a quick message or make a call.
- Enjoy hands-free operation, perfect for busy moments like driving, working out, or multitasking.
- For security reasons, you’ll still need to unlock your phone to view personal information, but animations will give you a glimpse into what’s happening while your phone’s locked.
Simplifying Gemini’s Interface
But that’s not all, folks! The code also hints at a new look for Gemini, with some exciting updates to its interface. For instance, the floating text box will expand vertically, giving you more space to work with. Gemini Extensions will be grouped by category, making it easier to find what you need, and example commands will be reduced from three to just one.
What it all means for Google’s AI strategy
The updates in the code don’t necessarily represent a game-changer, but they do highlight Google’s commitment to its AI strategy, particularly in elevating Android as the central hub for Gemini features. As competition from Apple’s Apple Intelligence heats up, Google is keen to stay ahead of the curve by experimenting with features that push Gemini to the top of the mobile devices league.
