INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Gemini on Pixel Buds Pro 22 min read Last Updated : Sep 26 2024 | 1:52 PM IST Google is introducing its Gemini AI to all Pixel Buds
In an email to users, Google announced that Gemini will soon be available on Pixel Buds, provided it's set as the default digital assistant
on the user's Android phone
The rollout has already started, beginning with the new Pixel Buds Pro 2
Additionally, Google has implemented changes to how users interact with assistants via paired earphones. Gemini on Pixel Buds will be
available in regions where the AI is currently supported
However, some Pixel Buds features may operate differently from Google Assistant, although Google has not yet specified the exact
smartphone, replacing Google Assistant. Your Android phone must be unlocked and connected to your Pixel Buds while you are wearing
them. Once set up, you can access Gemini on your Pixel Buds using the same activation gesture as for Google Assistant. Note that
unlocking your phone is only required during the initial setup
However, if you remove your Buds or disconnect them, you will not receive personalised responses while the phone is locked
This is no longer a separate setting for the Buds
This update applies to both Google Assistant and Gemini on Pixel Buds.First Published: Sep 26 2024 | 1:52 PMIST
