Google is continuing its efforts to make its AI assistant available across more screens, speakers and platforms. The company has brought the Gemini app to Apple CarPlay, with support for all languages currently available in Gemini Live.
Google had previously made its AI assistant accessible through the Google Maps app on CarPlay. Now, drivers will be able to access Gemini directly by tapping its icon on their car’s display. They can continue an existing conversation or start a new one.
According to Google, drivers can use Gemini during their commutes to prepare for meetings, catch up on unread emails, listen to their Daily Brief or get recommendations for places worth visiting nearby.
Conversations started through CarPlay will sync with the Gemini app on the user's iPhone and be saved in their chat history.
To use Gemini in CarPlay, users need to have the latest version of the Gemini app installed on their iPhone and ensure that microphone permissions are enabled. They must also have used Gemini Live on their iPhone at least once.
The CarPlay integration comes shortly after Google enabled Personal Assistance for Gemini in Android Auto. The feature allows the assistant to access information from other Google apps to provide more personalised responses.
Google is also bringing its Personal Intelligence feature to Gemini in vehicles equipped with Google built-in.
