Google is phasing out its traditional Google Assistant on Android devices, replacing it with a new AI integration known as Gemini Spark within Google Chrome. Unlike the previous Assistant, which primarily served as a voice-powered search engine, Gemini Spark is designed to function as an agent capable of performing multi-step tasks directly within the browser. This new AI aims to automate entire workflows, such as finding recipes, compiling shopping lists, and even placing orders, marking a shift from simple command-response interactions to delegation and autonomous browser automation.
