  1. Users say Gemini as Google Assistant is 'a disaster'

    Google last month completed its migration by removing Google Assistant from all mobile devices and accounts, leaving Gemini as the default assistant. In a Reddit thread titled “Gemini as the Google Assistant is a disaster,” users report that Gemini is less reliable at everyday tasks such as making calls, setting timers and alarms, and navigating to a contact's saved address via Android Auto and Google Maps, and that it often responds with lengthy explanations instead of just acting. Some say disabling Gemini doesn't stop it from reappearing, while others can no longer find an option to switch back; these are individual user anecdotes, and the thread does not establish that every device or account behaves the same way.

  2. Google Maps' Ask Maps may soon let you share conversation links, and could be renamed Ask

    A teardown of Google Maps version 26.41.00 by Android Authority surfaced a "Public link to conversation" string, suggesting Ask Maps could let users share entire chats via public links much like the Gemini app. Today users can only copy individual Ask Maps answers, and the copied text drops the URLs of places mentioned. The teardown also hints the Gemini-powered feature may be shortened to Ask and moved into the app's search bar, though the author could not actually trigger the public-link option and cautions it may never ship.

  3. Google Maps adds Gemini-powered ordering and a first dining list

    Google is widening the Gemini-powered Ask Maps conversational tool so diners can place orders through Square and Uber Eats, not just the previously named partner Toast. Google also published its first fan-favorite dining list, compiling Maps search trends across 10 cities — Atlanta, Chicago, London, Melbourne, Montreal, New York, San Francisco, Santiago, Seattle and Tokyo — including a 216% rise in trending interest for cheeseburgers in Tokyo, 78% for the Michelada in Santiago and 75% for Ube in Melbourne (Google's own figures).
