Google's Gemini AI assistant could soon manage your WhatsApp calls
Google is working to integrate its artificial intelligence (AI) model, Gemini, into daily routines by enhancing its functionality with new extensions. The tech giant has already incorporated extensions for Google apps like Keep, Tasks, and Calendar as well as YouTube and YouTube Music. Now, recent findings suggest that even more exciting additions are on the horizon, including a Gemini extension for WhatsApp that can enhance the hands-free functionality with the popular messaging app.
Gemini's potential integration with WhatsApp, Google Messages
An APK teardown of the Google app version 15.34.32.29.arm64 beta has revealed potential new Gemini extensions for WhatsApp, Google Messages, and Android system notifications. The official descriptions of these extensions suggest that they could enable reading and replying to messages using the Google Messages app or even making WhatsApp calls — all with just a voice command.
Gemini's potential to revolutionize notification management
The Notifications extension for Gemini could potentially summarize notifications received while users are away, categorize them by importance, or even execute tasks based on specific app notifications. This feature is still in its early stages and has not yet been officially released. However, it showcases Google's vision of providing advanced AI tools that can simplify and enhance user interaction with their devices.
Gemini's growing toolbox and future prospects
As Google continues to add third-party apps into Gemini's growing toolbox, the race for AI assistant domination is heating up. Apple is also expected to roll out some cool new tricks with its AI-powered Siri on the upcoming iPhone 16 series, which will debut on September 9. These developments highlight the increasing role of AI assistants in simplifying and enhancing user interaction with their devices.
