Personally, I don't like it as an Assistant replacement: it can't do routines among other issues.

It seems like in its current state it can't:

  1. Access personal productivity things - calendar, reminders etc.
  2. Can't run routines
  3. Can't detect an end of your voice command

Unless I missed some obvious checkbox somewhere, this seems like a half baked replacement to me.

half baked replacement

Google's specialty

Google Assistant has been neutered and Gemini is not very useful.

Google just really doesn't know how to do proper feature/product releases.

At least they've stopped forcing IM'ing into everything... Haven't they?

I was afraid this was gonna happen. This sucks.

It also doesn't reactivate the microphone when it needs a follow up answer.

It asked me "which would you prefer?" then just sat there.
