Back in May, at the Google I/O developer conference, Google announced that it was working on a new AI assistant it dubbed “Project Astra”. Astra is designed to be a universal AI agent for everyday life, with the ability to utilize your phone’s camera and voice recognition software to aid you. All while understanding commands and responding like a real human being.
Google originally promised that Astra would come to Google’s Gemini app sometime “later this year”. That timeline has now been moved to sometime in 2025, with Google CEO Sundar Pichai confirming the news during the Q3 earnings call for parent company Alphabet.
