Google's Gemini assistant will officially replace the company's classic Google Assistant on most phones later this year. Google announced the change in a blog post Friday, and revealed that the change will also encompass devices like tablets,

Google Assistant’s replacement will, of course, be Gemini, Google’s entry in the generative AI race. Gemini itself will become the new assistant on Google mobile devices such as phones and tablets, while a “new experience powered by Gemini” is coming to smart speakers and displays.

This comes as no surprise to most, because when Google launched Bard (the name Google used for Gemini early on), Google said it would bring Bard features to the Google Assistant.
