Currently, the AI assistant on Android devices is transitioning from “Google Assistant” to Google’s AI, “Gemini”.
This renewal from “Google Assistant” to “Gemini” is now in its final stages, with most services already having made the switch to “Gemini”.
However, a few features still retain “Google Assistant”. One of them is “Hold for Me,” the automated call-waiting assistant feature in the “Google Phone” app on Google Pixel devices.
However, it appears that this “Hold for Me” feature is finally getting the “Gemini” treatment. This was revealed through our original site content, “App Analysis.”
