Gemini AI Assistant to Replace Google Assistant on Wear OS
- Update Type: Straightforward app update for existing Wear OS devices.
- Activation Methods: Users can activate Gemini by holding down the side button or using the "Hey Google" hotword when the watch screen is on.
- Capabilities: Gemini will be able to perform basic tasks like setting alarms, timers, and sending messages, similar to Google Assistant. Advanced features like integration with Gmail and Google Maps are not explicitly mentioned.
