Google will replace Google Assistant on Android phones with Gemini later this year, the company announced on Friday.

Google's officially retiring its Assistant tool, instead migrating users to its AI-powered Gemini.

Google Assistant’s replacement will, of course, be Gemini, Google’s entry in the generative AI race. Gemini itself will become the new assistant on Google mobile devices such as phones and tablets, while a “new experience powered by Gemini” is coming to smart speakers and displays.
