Where to begin. I stupidly changed to the Gemini version and it's absolutely garbage. To call this an "assistant" is a disgrace to the definition. It took me 15 minutes to figure out how to allow it to set reminders and then later found out it can't even support playing music from YOUTUBE MUSIC. (Or any other music app) What?! And the worst part is gh6they have built in a bug that crashes the app should you try to revert back to the original assistant that could actually do things.

Gemini disguised as Assistant. The February update added Gemini, and you could choose to use it as the Assistant or not. It was slow and took extra steps, so I un-installed it. Now, with the March update, it has become the assistant. Not only Can't you switch back to the original, fast, efficient, and capable Assistant, you also can't customize the voice. The Gemini takes half a minute to figure out what you have asked it, then it takes another 30 seconds to do what you wanted, if it works.

The first smartphone I ever got 10 years ago had the ability to set up voice commands and pick an activation phrase. It worked well. Web searches, call from contacts, and play music all at a custom phrase that the user chose. Then Google changed the activation phrase to OK Google and it would activate at random so I turned it off. Years later I tried again and the random activation was fixed but it failed to understand basic commands. Just give back what you broke idiots.
