The way Gemini (which is incredible) has been haphazardly shoved into gsuite products seems devoid of any kind of common sense. Even very basic obvious things via Gemini in Gmail fail. It’s ironic because it’s the one place I’d love a decent model.
People don't care if it can answer questions with more nuance when the smart stuff they paid hundreds or thousands for no longer works.
Getting a response to "Set alarm for 8am" is still a lot quicker in Assistant than in Gemini.
Previously it just called her, Gemini asks which one of the numbers I have saved should it call, but not as a continued conversation. It comes up with an onscreen list, which I'm not pressing whilst driving, and trying to tell it which one ends with Gemini getting very confused.
Reverted to Google Assistant which still works and will actually call her.
If we take the thing nobody asked for and shove it in users faces as often as possible, this will get lots of happy customers and the product will take off!
