Google is reportedly planning a significant upgrade for Wear OS, introducing its AI assistant, Google Gemini, to enhance user interactions on smartwatches.
Launched in 2023, Google Gemini aims to compete with popular AI models like ChatGPT. Recent code leaks suggest that Google intends to replace the existing Google Assistant on many Android smartwatches with this more advanced AI assistant.
The leaks indicate that Gemini will facilitate easier back-and-forth conversations, allowing users to accomplish tasks more efficiently. While the exact launch date remains uncertain, the presence of Gemini in the latest Google App beta code signals a potential upgrade for Wear OS.
Google Gemini is designed to work across various Android devices, not limited to Pixel models, suggesting it will be compatible with a wide range of smartwatches. This upgrade could significantly enhance the capabilities of Google Assistant, expanding its functions beyond basic tasks like weather updates and reminders to a more conversational and intuitive experience.
