Ratings and reviews

Gemini is getting better, and it does fine telling you what to text to your friends because you can't be bothered to actually do it yourself. Can it set alarms, though, or look up directions or turn off your lights or play music for you? Absolutely not. And why should it?! It's just a language model! ...except it must replace Assistant as your "AI Assistant". But it's not an Assistant; it's just a language model...and it's not particularly good at that. ...unless you need it to text.

I'm sure all of the generative AI things this can do are cool, however, it lacks a ton of basic functionality that assistant has. For instance. You can't tell it to play a song and have it start on a linked service, or tell it to navigate home and have it automatically open maps and start navigating for you. I'll wait until more features that I find useful are added to try it again.

Why oh why did you have to replace the assistant. This thing can't open YouTube like old assistant did or play music or set alarm. Basic things that you come to depend on. It should be a stand alone app. EDIT: it now has a setting to switch back to a more capable assistant! Hallelujah! The actual app and model is good enough compared to others. Missing link references though
