Google has officially confirmed that its powerful Gemini AI will be expanding beyond smartphones and making its way to Wear OS, Android Auto, and other platforms later this year. This move marks a significant step in Google’s plan to create a more unified and intelligent ecosystem across devices. With Gemini coming to smartwatches and car infotainment systems, users can expect smarter voice interactions, real-time suggestions, and context-aware assistance on the go. Whether you're checking notifications on your wrist or navigating through traffic, Gemini aims to make every interaction smoother and more personalised. As AI becomes central to the Google experience, this expansion signals the company’s commitment to delivering next-gen intelligence across all connected devices.

Gemini On Other Devices

Google’s Gemini chatbot currently can be accessed on a range of Android phones and via the web, with the company's smart assistants handling devices like smartwatches, Android Auto, smart displays, and other gadgets. Gemini, however, will now be integrated into the more traditional interfaces of smart displays and other gadgets by the company’s assistant. This, the company has confirmed, will happen later this year.

Pichai did not specify a date for this addition to other categories, but there are still no details available on this expansion. We’re likely to hear new information at the Google I/O next month.

The news of Gemini’s imminent integration on other devices was pretty obvious to normal Android Authority followers. Evidence of Gemini’s functionality with Wear OS smartwatches was available as early as January, and so was information about how this feature would operate.

An earlier app teardown in August 2024 had already suggested the possibility of Gemini Live for Android Auto, which has since then been enabled. It does appear, however, that this will be available sooner rather than later.

In particular, we are pleased to observe the development of Gemini Live toward additional product categories. Colleague Rita El-Khoury commended Gemini’s multi-language capabilities, while others noted its responsiveness and speed. However, we can understand your disappointment if for many years you relied on Google Assistant, especially if you used routines and similar commands that were absent on Gemini.
