I will only ever activate Gemini by mistake.

I accidentally activated it and It really sucked.

First, when you invoke it, it's not listening but you have to press an additional button on the screen.

Second, it's way slower than Google assistant and it fails doing the most basic tasks

My use case: I invoke the voice assistant by double tapping on the back of my pixel, then speak without watching the screen. I exclusively use two voice commands:

  1. Set a timer for n minutes
  2. Turn off the light

So when I invoked it, need to unlock the screen, press the microphone button, say the command, wait a couple dozens of seconds , it couldn't even set a fucking timer.

In the time of that I could have saved time by just doing it manually, if anyway I am forced to interact with the screen
