According to reports, Google is making Gemini AI available for a wider range of earbuds and headphones. A 9To5Google article claims that a code found in the most recent beta version of the Google app indicates compatibility between Gemini AI assistant and audio wearables like Google Assistant.
The Google app beta version 15.6's APK file, which is essentially the program code for an Android app, was found to have a line of code with the error message, "Gemini mobile app is working on expanding availability to make it accessible on your headphones," according to the report.

AI-generated audio replies to queries would probably be available with Gemini support on headphones. It is anticipated that activating the Gemini AI assistant through headphones will resemble utilizing Google Assistant. But according to the article, there won't be any visible indications on the display when the AI assistant on the gadget responds; instead, it would simply speak.

Google said last week that it is changing the name of its AI chatbot Bard to Gemini. Furthermore, Google released an Android app specifically designed for Gemini AI. Gemini can be accessed by iOS users via the Google app.
On the other hand, users of the Android app can activate the Gemini AI in a manner akin to that of Google Assistant by either pushing the power button or using the wake word, "Hey Google." The Gemini app also provides access to Google Assistant speech functions, such as calling, scheduling reminders, and managing smart home appliances. The Gemini Android app is now accessible in the US and is progressively making its way to other countries.
