Google’s Gemini AI Assistant Now Works On Apple CarPlay

Something that would have been unimaginable five years ago is now reality. Google’s Gemini AI voice assistant can now be used on Apple CarPlay by iPhone users, breaking some of the barriers that have traditionally been in place between the two tech giants.

Starting today, Gemini users on iOS devices can open the app on CarPlay and pick up where they left off on their smartphone. The AI-powered chatbot can take multi-point questions and offer natural-sounding answers. It can also browse through the user’s emails and other productivity apps to come up with relevant answers—if the user has enabled the necessary permissions.

According to Google, Gemini on CarPlay was designed to work like a conversational driving companion that minimizes distraction. To start Gemini, the driver has to press the app icon on the car screen’s app drawer or side rail—it doesn’t wake up via voice commands. That said, after it’s front and center, Gemini can talk back and forth at the driver’s pace, even if it’s interrupted while it’s answering a question.

The American tech company said in an official blog post that Gemini on CarPlay can help the driver get ready for the day ahead. They can ask what’s on their calendar, when they need to leave for their next appointment, or talk through what they want to say before they arrive at a meeting.

An inbox recap is also possible, as Gemini can connect to Google Workspace apps like Gmail and Google Calendar. Exploring local spots and landmarks while driving is also part of the chatbot’s feature list.
