About this app

Google Assistant: Your hands-free helper.

Get instant help with everyday tasks using just your voice. Google Assistant makes it easy to:

- Control your phone: open apps, adjust settings, turn on the flashlight and more.
- Stay connected: make calls, send texts and manage emails without lifting a finger.
- Get things done: set reminders, create lists, ask questions and find directions.
- Manage your smart home: control lights, thermostats and other devices from anywhere.*

New! Now you can also opt in to Gemini (formerly Bard) from Google Assistant and have it act as your primary assistant from Google on your phone.

Gemini is an experimental AI assistant that gives you direct access to Google's best family of AI models, unlocking new ways to assist you while still incorporating many of the actions you love in Google Assistant today.

While some of the actions won't work right away, we're working to support more coming soon. You'll be able to switch back to Google Assistant in app settings.

Gemini opt-in is rolling out to select devices and countries—opt in to Gemini from your Google Assistant or by downloading the Gemini app.

It does a lot and it's fantastic, when it works. Far too many bugs considering the amount of money, time, research, and development that's gone into this program. The texting feature is always hit or miss and often texts someone other than who I specifically mentioned. This has led to very confusing situations. It's wonderful to use when the routines, songs, GPS, etc. work! It just doesn't work, so much of the time.

Setting default apps for it to use is impossible. I had to just delete the other similar apps. It insists on using Google apps no matter what default is set in your phone. • Sending texts is risky. You take one sec pause to think about what you're saying and it saves\sends it, so you have to start a new one. I rather it wait untill say "done" or "send"

This app has become really finicky on both of my phones. It randomly stops working, or responding. "Hey Google" seems to only work when it wants to, and restarting the phone seems to be the only remedy. Restarting only works for a short time before it happens again. The only assistant enabled device I can really rely on these days is my Google Home Mini. Might have to consider another assistant solution.
