Gemini’s most recent extension reduces its dependency on Google Assistant

The launch of the Gemini Utilities Extension is a significant update for Gemini. With this new capability, users can utilize voice or text prompts to control their Android mobile devices and apps. It provides a more seamless and integrated experience than the existing Google Assistant fallback, which is a major improvement.

Numerous operations on your Android device can be made simpler with the help of the Gemini Utilities Extension. You can control music playing, open apps, manage timers and alarms, and change device settings like brightness and volume. It can even snap screenshots and pictures for you.

The capacity to carry out several tasks with a single prompt is one of its most notable characteristics. For instance, you can instruct Gemini to simultaneously activate power saver mode, lower notification volume, and increase media volume. This saves time and simplifies tasks.

Integration with the Pixel Screenshots app is another feature of the upgrade. You can request that Gemini look through your collections or look for particular screenshots. This feature, which was first revealed with the October Pixel Drop, enhances the user experience by adding yet another level of convenience.

Complete control over the Clock app is provided by the Gemini Utilities Extension for people who depend on timers and alarms. Simple voice commands can be used to snooze or stop timers and alarms, as well as to set, manage, and delete them.

Keep take mind that this extension is being launched gradually, so not everyone will have access to it right now. Furthermore, it only supports English prompts at this time. But once it’s widely available, it should greatly improve how people engage with their Android smartphones.
