Google Home users were expecting Google Assistant to be replaced by Ge Assistantmini with great excitement and anticipation. Some have already received it as part of early access, others have not yet. But Google has promised to accelerate the pace of its deployment. Those who have already Gemini They are testing it thoroughly, but apart from joy, they sometimes experience severe disappointments. This applies, for example, to the previously common function for continuing a conversation, which was commonly available in Google Assistant.

This is a rather unpleasant discovery, because this way, non-paying users can only use individual commands, queries or assignments. But they don't talk to the artificial intelligence. They have to activate it every time, and it doesn't resemble the pleasant conversation that Google enthusiastically showed us in October. Moreover, many users complain that Gemini cannot do what the Assistant used to do without difficulty – it can't call a client on direct instruction, it can't set a timer, and it's also a problem with alarms. What was supposed to be a great improvement is just annoying to many users.
