Google Gemini is singing a new tune courtesy of Spotify and the new Gemini Extension for Android devices. The AI assistant will search for and play music for you on the streaming platform without the need for specific command phrases, instead relying on the same natural language you can use to converse with it in other circumstances.
Gemini Extensions links the AI to your personal account information on Google and certain third-party services. Spotify is joining multiple Google services, such as YouTube Music and Google Messages, as well as WhatsApp as an extension. The Spotify extension takes over for Google Assistant in some ways, eliminating endless scrolling through playlists or problems with misremembering song names – just a simple conversation with Gemini will sort it out. You can ask Gemini to play a song or pull up an artist, album, or playlist. You can also go broader and ask for music to match whatever you're doing, like going for a run or studying.
