And yet these new models still haven’t reached feature parity with Google Assistant, which can turn my flashlight on, but with all the power of burning down a rainforest, Gemini still cannot interact with my actual phone.

I just tried asking my phone to turn on the flashlight using Gemini. It worked. https://9to5google.com/2024/11/07/gemini-utilities-extension...

Ok I tried literally last week on Pixel 7a and it didn’t work. What model do you have? Maybe it requires a phone that can do on-device models?

Works on a Pixel 4A 5G..

Pretty sure that's not doing any fancy on-device models!

That said, there was a popup today saying that assistant is now using Gemini, so I just enabled it to try. Could well have changed in the last week.

I just tried it on my Galaxy Ultra s23 and it worked. I then disconnected internet and it did not work.
