Users say ‘Gemini as the Google Assistant is a disaster’

Google has integrated Gemini into Google Assistant, a move that some users describe as a disaster. Despite this backlash, Gemini demonstrates advanced capabilities as an AI agent, executing complex, continuous commands. It can cross-reference Calendar, Flights, and Maps to organize travel and draft emails, functioning more like a real assistant than a chatbot. However, reports suggest a strategic gamble where the underlying brain powering these tasks could potentially belong to competition like Claude.
