Google has begun notifying users via email that it will start shutting down Google Assistant across several platforms, including smartphones and smartwatches, from Sept 4, 2026, as it shifts focus entirely towards its Gemini AI system.
The move mirrors the recent integration of Google AI Studio into Gemini, marking a major step in the tech giant's full transition to its next-generation artificial intelligence platform.
Google Assistant is an AI-powered virtual personal assistant that enables users to execute commands, search for information, and control connected devices hands-free using voice commands or text inputs.
