On Users say 'Gemini as the Google Assistant is a disaster' - Android Authority ·
@Absolute Rainbow Extra Open the Google app. Look for your avatar in the upper right hand corner. Click on that. Go to settings. Go to Gemini. Go to Personal Intelligence and also go into Skills. If you need further assistance, just ask Gemini. You can talk to Gemini in a very natural conversational tone, so give it a try.

Just a little heads up ... you can go into Gemini's settings and explicitly request short, to the point responses. As a matter of fact, Gemini is capable of being tailored to all your Assistant needs. For example, you can tell Gemini "remember I had knee surgery in 2023," and Gemini will not only remember that, but it will consider that in future responses about your knees.

On Android 17 has reached just 1%, and even Android 8.1 is ahead ·
I prefer to run the latest, and since my phone is a Pixel, I always get the latest. Judging by the results (so far) of the poll, it seems that tech enthusiasts are more likely to keep their phones updated.

It's a mixed bag. Since it's not 100% reliable, I'd much rather take full control and do everything myself.

On Google quietly made Find Hub an Android app I can't live without ·
The overwhelming majority of Android apps may be downloaded and used on a tablet, but some are not quite optimized for the experience. In your specific case, as long as you have Android 16 or later on your tablet, and Gemini is set as your default assistant, you should be able to utilize the Remembered feature. While we're on the subject of answering questions, don't forget that you can ask Gemini just about anything, and receive pretty reliable information.
