It was inevitable. With Gemini taking form in all parts of Google’s ecosystem, it was apparent that Android would eventually follow suit. Alongside the new family of Pixel hardware, Google announced it is doubling down on its promise of AI by introducing a handful of new Gemini-enabled features, including Gemini Live, which lets you chat with it as if it’s right in your ear. Google calls this the newly rebuilt “assistant experience with Gemini.”
