Google Upgrades AI Assistant Gemini to Access Android Calendars
• Google's new AI model, Gemini, can now access users' Google Calendar events on Android phones when prompted.
• This allows Gemini to respond to requests like "Show me my calendar" and "Do I have any upcoming events?"
• Gemini still has limitations compared to digital assistants like Siri and Google Assistant. Users still need to manually add calendar events by voice.
• Google is working to make Gemini an all-in-one AI offering that could eventually replace Google Assistant. However, more features need to be added.
• The race to create the best AI assistant has intensified between Google's Gemini, Microsoft's Copilot, and Amazon's Alexa. Recent strides by Google with Gemini have boosted its capabilities.
