Google's AI assistant Gemini now works with third-party services for bookings, music, home services and healthcare, including OpenTable and Ticketmaster. The integration marks Gemini's move beyond Google's own apps.
The update comes as Gemini crosses 1 billion monthly users, with increased use of voice, Gemini Live and image generation. Google plans to replace Google Assistant with Gemini as the default assistant on eligible Android devices from September.
For all the talk of Gemini finally catching up, the real test is whether users prefer a single AI assistant over dedicated apps. Google's gradual phase-out of Assistant risks alienating those who rely on simple commands. The number of third-party integrations by year-end will tell us if this is a genuine platform shift or just another feature list.
