Google Assistant to Be Discontinued โขin Marchโฃ 2026, Replaced by Gemini
Google is phasing out its long-standing โคGoogle Assistant, with full discontinuationโ planned for march โ2026. The move comes as the tech giant prioritizes its newer, more advanced AIโค model, โGemini, as โthe primary interface for users โacross Google products.
For overโ a decade,Google assistant has โbeen a central feature for โคsimplifying user experiences. โฃHowever,Gemini offers theโ same functionalityโค and expandedโ capabilities.โ Google has already begun transitioning users, withโข Gemini โคnow the default AI assistant โคon platforms like โคAndroid Auto.
While google hasn’t issued aโ formal public statement, โinformation posted on the official Google Assistant and Talk To Gemini support forum confirms Assistant will remain operational untill March 2026, though a specificโค dateโฃ within the month hasn’t โฃbeen announced.
Usersโ currently โrelying on Google โขassistant โคcan continue to do soโค until the deadline. โขthough, Google emphasizes โthat the user experience will be largely identical when switching to Gemini, with the โadded benefit of accessing moreโข advanced features. While personal preference for โฃAssistant is acknowledged, the eventual transition toโ Geminiโ is unavoidable.
