    Personally, I’ve tried using Gemini for a couple weeks now and last night decided to disable it. It can’t even manage commands like “play music” to open Spotify, or start calls and texts without being unlocked. The whole point of a hands free assistant for me is to be hands free… I use it in my car for calls and texts, literally the primary reason to have a cell phone. Who gives a crap about “creative inspiration” if they’re not even prioritizing the basic features of a phone?

      Yeah, it’s shit. It won’t work with the phone locked for the most part. Sometimes it will, sometimes it won’t. You can’t change the voice. It can’t set stuff on the phone. Half the time it can’t even answer basic questions that the regular assistant has no issues with. Idk why they’d release this to the public when it’s clearly a beta product, if that.
