Google is finally giving up on Google Assistant. According to a blog post, the company will upgrade "more" users from Google Assistant to Gemini "in the coming months." "Later this year," classic Google Assistant "will not be available on most mobile devices and will not be available for download in mobile app stores."

However, Classic Assistant can still be used on phones running Android 9 or earlier and with at least 2GB of memory.

"In addition, we will upgrade tablets, cars, and phone-connected devices like headphones and watches to Gemini," Google said. "We will also bring new Gemini-powered experiences to home devices such as speakers, monitors and TVs."

The company said it will share more details "in the coming months." (It is speculated that Google will announce information about the new experience at the Google I/O conference in May). In the meantime, according to Google, "Google Assistant will continue to run on these devices."

Google originally launched Google Assistant in 2016. Now, though, Gemini has become a common brand for many of Google's artificial intelligence and assistant-like efforts, so it's no surprise that the company is officially launching Google Assistant.
