Beyond Google: Gemini AI Is Expanding To Third-Party Android Brands’ Apps
Contents
Gemini, Google’s AI-powered assistant, has been around for a few years now. Since its arrival, it has gained the ability to access data from other apps, but mostly from Google’s own ecosystem. However, it seems things are about to change in the short to medium term. Google Gemini is officially spreading its wings, moving beyond Google’s apps and getting integration with core applications from other major Android brands.
Initially, Google focused on integrating Gemini with its own suite of services. This allowed the AI to smoothly access events in your Google Calendar, sift through emails in Gmail, manage tasks in Google Tasks, and even control music in YouTube Music, among other things. It was a powerful start, making Gemini a central hub for your Google-centric digital life.
Gemini integration with third-party Android brands’ apps is now a reality
But the real game-changer is what’s happening now. Google is allowing Gemini to natively integrate with apps built by other Android manufacturers. This means the AI can delve deeper into your favorite apps, even those outside Google’s ecosystem. Gemini accessing data from these apps will significantly increase the possibilities when making requests.
First in Xiaomi, OPPO and Samsung
Leading the charge in this new wave of integration are some familiar names. Android expert Mishaal Rahman recently reported that the Gemini app has already rolled out integration with Xiaomi’s Notes and Calendar apps. Imagine asking Gemini to set a reminder directly in your Xiaomi Notes or check your schedule within the native Calendar app, all without switching applications.
OPPO is also jumping on board, confirming that the Gemini app will soon integrate with its core applications. The Chinese giant will begin integration with the upcoming OPPO Reno 14 series. And, as you might expect, Samsung is another major player that has been diligently working to bring Gemini integration to its core apps on Galaxy phones.
The advantage here is huge. Gemini integrating into apps from third-party Android brands will make your Android experience more cohesive and AI-powered. This paves the way for a future where your phone’s AI can truly understand and assist you across all your digital interactions, regardless of the app or brand. Let’s hope to receive more news about Android brands integrating Gemini into their apps and services soon.
