Gemini AI coming soon to smartwatches and cars
Rollout details to be shared at Google I/O 2025.
Google has revealed plans to expand its Gemini AI assistant to a wider range of Android-connected devices later in 2025.
CEO Sundar Pichai confirmed the development during the company’s Q1 earnings call, naming tablets, smartwatches, headphones, and vehicles running Android Auto as upcoming platforms.
Gemini will gradually replace Google Assistant, offering more natural, conversational interactions and potentially new features like real-time responses through ‘Gemini Live’. Though a detailed rollout schedule remains undisclosed, more information is expected at Google I/O 2025 next month.
Evidence of Gemini’s AI integration has already surfaced in Wear OS and Android Auto updates, suggesting enhanced voice control and contextual features.
It remains unclear whether the assistant’s processing will be cloud-based or supported locally through connected Android devices.
