Google appears to be gearing up to introduce Gemini, its conversational AI chatbot, to tablets. This news comes courtesy of 9to5Google, who uncovered revealing details within the latest beta version of the Google Search app.
Gemini has the potential to spice up the way you use your tablet. This powerful AI is designed to handle a wide array of tasks. It can assist you with staying in touch by making calls, sending messages, and managing your contacts. Gemini can also provide smart control by setting alarms, timers, and interacting with your installed apps. Additionally, it can enhance your tablet experience by reading and analyzing your screen content to provide helpful suggestions.
Up until now, Gemini has only been available on a select few smartphones. However, the publication’s analysis found clear indications within the code that Google is actively preparing Gemini for tablet use. The Pixel Tablet is poised to be the first tablet to officially support this intelligent chatbot, although we expect to see Gemini arrive on other tablets, potentially including Samsung’s Galaxy Tab series.
Interestingly, it looks like Gemini on the Pixel Tablet will function alongside the classic Google Assistant. This means you’ll be able to use either “Hey Google” or a dedicated wake word to access the AI that best suits your needs. It’s a practical approach, especially in the docked mode where the Pixel Tablet functions as a smart display.
While it’s still early days, the arrival of Gemini on tablets has the potential to elevate the tablet experience to new levels. If you own a Pixel Tablet, keep an eye out for a potential update that brings Gemini to your device. And if you’re sporting a different brand of tablet, hang in there. Google will likely make the app available to other Android tablet makers too.
