Gemini Utilities Extension
Google announced a new Utilities extension earlier this year to address the limitations of the Gemini AI assistant. Initially unveiled at Google I/O, this extension aims to empower Gemini to perform various smartphone tasks. These tasks include controlling alarms, timers, volume, and the camera.
However, the Mountain View-based tech giant is rolling out this feature gradually. As a result, it may take a few weeks before all Android device users can access this capability.
To use the Utilities extension, users must set Gemini as their default virtual assistant. They must interact with it through the Gemini mobile app on Android. Unfortunately, the extension currently only supports English language prompts.
Despite these limitations, the availability of the Utilities extension is a significant step forward for Gemini. It brings the AI assistant closer to the functionality of Google Assistant, offering users a more comprehensive and versatile experience.
