Google is removing its AI assistant, Gemini, from the main Google app on iOS to encourage users to download the standalone Gemini app. This is meant to enhance the user experience by offering more features and be more direct competition with other AI chatbots. However, it may reduce Gemini's reach as users might be reluctant to download a new app. The standalone Gemini app allows users to engage in voice conversations, connect with Google apps, ask questions, plan trips, create images, and more.
