Samsung unveiled itsNew Galaxy Waych8 series smartwatch, and after announcing its cooperation with Google to integrate Gemini AI application functions, Google also announced that its Gemini AI application functions will also be available in its Pixel Watch series watches, as well as Wear OS smart watches from brands such as OPPO, OnePlus, and Xiaomi, bringing a more natural and intuitive voice interaction experience.
Gemini can run the same AI model on Wear OS smartwatches as on mobile phones, supporting natural language understanding and personalized responses, providing instant and personalized services.
Users can activate it by saying "OK, Google," long pressing the side button, or directly touching the Gemini icon to enjoy the smart assistant experience anytime, anywhere.
AI empowers everyday life, turning your wrist into an information hub
Gemini supports a variety of daily life scenarios. For example, if you're busy cooking, you can use voice to ask questions like "How many minutes do I need to roast vegetables?" or "What temperature should I set my oven to?" Before heading out, you can easily check the weather: "Do I need an umbrella today?" Or, between trips, simply ask Gemini, "Where is the cafe Emily mentioned in her email?" to get instant directions without having to navigate through multiple steps.
Gemini can also be integrated with services like Gmail and Google Calendar, making the watch more than just a notification tool. It can also proactively help you manage your schedule. For example, you can send voice messages and create playlists during exercise, or quickly summarize emails and schedule appointments to improve efficiency.
Record trivia, set reminders, and easily manage life details
Gemini can also remember personal details like gym locker numbers and parking space locations, making them easy to access at any time without worrying about forgetting. It also supports instant reminders, like reminders to go shopping after work, making AI a truly caring assistant.
Wear OS 4 and above can get the update
This feature is expected to gradually support smartwatches running Wear OS 4 and above. Watches upgraded to Wear OS 6 in the future will also provide more advanced integration capabilities, combined with various brands' own application services, to enhance the smart application experience of wearable devices.
The launch of Gemini in smartwatches represents Google's continued expansion of AI capabilities into more everyday devices, strengthening the competitiveness of the Wear OS ecosystem and further deepening the interactive connection between users and devices. This allows the smart assistant to move beyond being just a tool on your phone to become a true intelligent partner integrated into every detail of your life.
