        It’s not, basic functionality has been lost, and instead of completing your requests, it initiates a search/conversation.

        A few commands did work and it routed it through Assistant, but after failing my daily tasks I promptly uninstalled.

            Nah, this is Google’s version of ChatGPT with speech to text and text to speech. Unlike Siri, it can hold a real conversation, the problem is that it’s worse as an actual assistant for the moment.

          Don’t you have to install the Gemini app for all the features now? The app that specifically states it’s “experimental”

            When you asked the answer was yes, but, then after a day or two they actually force enabled WITHOUT the app being installed. At least for me and a few others online.

              Have you found it better than it used to be? I guess I’m not surprised, but Gemini also does not seem super well tested

                It was better than the first day when I tried it, but still not fully functional, I’ve moved back to Google Assistant again. It doesn’t do all of the “Home” commands and it struggles with setting up calendar events and reminders.

          In particular, it can’t control media devices.
