Google Gemini is the company's flagship AI-powered app, one slowly but surely making its transition beyond that of a simple chatbot. Many debate whether this is, in fact, how Google is moulding it into the next big AI super app.
Gemini is helping users with writing, research, images, planning, and all other sundry digital tasks. The recent updates to the Google Gemini app are starting to feel less like one tool and more like a central junction for several other services.
Over the past year, Google has quietly expanded Gemini's abilities. What began as an AI for answering questions now supports image and video generation, file analysis, coding help, and content creation.
According to analysts, this is all a signal of a larger strategy, to turn Google Gemini into a single app that can handle many things people currently do across different platforms.
With recent updates, Google Gemini has gained deeper links with Google's ecosystem. It can connect with Gmail, Google Docs, Maps, and YouTube to allow the AI to summarise emails, plan routes, or pull in information from documents.
This sort of integration is common in AI super apps, where several services reside inside one experience rather than a set of different apps.
Another major step would be Google's intention to replace Google Assistant with Gemini on Android devices over the next few years. If that were the case, Gemini would then take over as the default AI layer on phones and tablets and, later, smart home devices.
That could make the Gemini app for many users the primary means of interacting with Google's services, everything from setting reminders to smart device control.
Google has not officially called Gemini a “super app”, but its actions suggest long-term ambition. The company says Gemini is meant to be a “universal AI assistant” that understands context and takes action, not just responds to prompts.
