Similar to Google Assistant’s “Continuous Conversation” mode, users will be able to ask follow-up questions, as the device’s microphone is automatically reactivated after each response. The function was first detected by leakster https://twitter.com/AssembleDebug/status/1783051903393505302. So you found a new “Chat” mode icon in the bottom left corner of the assistant window.

While the feature is still in development and currently crashes the assistant, it’s a big step toward bringing more natural and engaging conversations with Google Gemini, making it less robotic and more intuitive.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT also has a similar feature called “Voice Chat” mode, where users can chat with the assistant using voice commands. The feature is available on iOS and Android devices for all users, not just premium ones.

Continuous conversations

Continuous conversations allow users to have more natural conversations with AI assistants without having to manually trigger voice recognition. With this feature, users can also ask follow-up questions, facilitating a human-like conversation.

Google has been promoting Gemini over Google Assistant on Android devices as the default assistant since February 2024. However, users have the option to switch to Gemini or continue to use Google Assistant. Eventually, Google is looking to eliminate Assistant in favor of Gemini, as evidenced by various information arriving on the Internet. Recently, Google has been working on several new features, including adding real-time responses that would allow users to read the response as soon as it starts being generated, and music-related features that would allow users to choose their app preferred music streaming on Android when asked to play music to Gemini.
