This means:

  • Downloading or updating the Assistant app now gives you Gemini instead.
  • You can switch back to Assistant in the Gemini app settings.
  • This might be Google's first step towards replacing Assistant completely with Gemini.
  • Some users are unaware of the switch and see two Gemini apps on their phones.

Overall, this may suggest Google is phasing out Assistant and transitioning users to the newer Gemini AI technology.

Do people use Assistant for more than just reminders, weather, and directions? Lol Just curious because that's all I use it for.

Yes, I ask it random things like "is X food dog safe" or how many g of protein is in whatever food.

Or even general knowledge stuff like "how do covalent bonds work"
