Google is bringing its powerful Gemini AI assistant to even more devices, expanding beyond phones to smartwatches, smart TVs, XR headsets, and cars. As part of its long-term plan to replace Google Assistant, the company confirmed during its Android Show this week that Gemini will roll out to Wear OS smartwatches, Google TV, and Android Auto, with deeper integration also coming to Android XR.
This move comes as no surprise to users who have been waiting for Google to bring its conversational AI across the full ecosystem. The idea is simple: let users access Gemini wherever they are — whether they’re jogging, cooking, watching a movie, or driving.
On Wear OS smartwatches, Gemini will provide hands-free help for daily tasks. You can simply raise your wrist and ask it to remember you’re using locker 43 at the gym, or to set a reminder while your hands are messy in the kitchen. Thanks to its natural language processing, you don’t have to phrase commands perfectly — just talk as you would to a friend.
Since Gemini connects with your apps, it can also surface context-aware information. For instance, it can tell you about the restaurant your friend emailed you about, all without picking up your phone mid-workout. Gemini AI on Wear OS and Google TV represents Google’s push toward making smart assistance truly ambient — seamlessly woven into moments when your hands or eyes are occupied.
Gemini is expected to arrive on Wear OS smartwatches in the coming months.
Bringing Gemini AI to TV, XR Headsets, and Android Auto
Later this year, Gemini will also launch on Google TV, allowing users to ask for personalized content suggestions, such as action films appropriate for kids. It can also answer questions — so if your kids are curious about the solar system, Gemini could pull up an educational YouTube video right on your TV. This positions Gemini as both an entertainment concierge and a learning assistant right in your living room.
Beyond TVs and watches, Google is integrating Gemini into Android XR, the company’s new platform for extended reality headsets and smart glasses. The first headset, built by Samsung under the name Project Moohan, is expected to launch this year. With Gemini on board, users will be able to interact with apps, explore content, and even plan a vacation using immersive videos, interactive maps, and local tips — all within an intuitive voice-guided environment.
Finally, Gemini is also coming to Android Auto in the coming months. Drivers will be able to ask for helpful context-based information, like finding a charging station that’s near both a post office and a park. Gemini can also summarize messages or deliver news updates without taking your eyes off the road.
Guemmy Kim, senior director of product and user experience on the Android team, summed it up: “Gemini is about making interactions more intuitive, personal, and helpful — no matter which device you’re using.”
