Google Assistant Routines have been around since 2017, allowing you to streamline your tasks with just one voice command. With a simple phrase like “Hey Google, let’s watch a movie,” you can have it dim the lights, turn on the TV, and set your phone to Do Not Disturb mode.

Gemini, Google’s generative AI chatbot, is rumored to eventually replace Google Assistant. However, it currently lacks support for Routines or similar features. Recent findings from Android Authority suggest that this might change soon with hints of Routines support in the latest beta version of the Google app for Android (15.24.28.29.arm64 beta).

While this feature is still in development and may not make it to an official release, the possibility of controlling Assistant Routines with Gemini is exciting. The process might require creating the routine with Assistant but triggering it through Gemini.

Currently, one of Gemini’s limitations compared to Google Assistant is its lack of control over Routines. However, it’s promising to see that Google is working on integrating this feature into Gemini in the future. It would be even more convenient if Gemini could create Routines itself, although there’s no confirmation on that yet.

In conclusion, Routines offer a convenient way to accomplish everyday tasks without hassle. With potential support for this feature on Gemini in the works, users can look forward to a smoother experience when managing their routines through Google’s AI chatbot.
