Google is axing the Assistant with Bard branding now that Bard is Gemini, and it’s available on Android.
The company is still striving to build an AI that is conversational, multimodal, and helpful.
Gemini will be the branding Google will stick to going forward.
Google made a major announcement yesterday, changing Bard’s name to Gemini. The AI also has a standalone Android app that replaces Google Assistant entirely on your phones. With Gemini essentially becoming an alternative for Assistant on Android, we wondered what would happen to Assistant with Bard — the more intelligent Google Assistant alternative the company announced in October alongside the Pixel 8 series. It turns out it’s never going to make it out now.
