We had seen plenty of evidence that Google was working to integrate its Bard AI chatbot into Google Assistant over the past several months, but now, that day has come — except the name isn't Assistant with Bard as originally thought, it's simply Gemini.

But as Google warns when you first launch Gemini, it is clearly an "experimental AI assistant on your phone," emphasis on experimental.
