Google brings the standalone Gemini app and Gemini Live to Apple CarPlay
Catching up to rivals, finally!
Google is making waves by launching a standalone Gemini app and bringing Gemini Live to Apple CarPlay globally, starting today, November 11. This standalone application offers more than just Google Maps integration; it enables broader conversations and Workspace integration. To access this new feature, users must have the most recent Gemini app on their iPhones and have previously used Gemini Live.
While CarPlay users have previously benefited from Gemini's capabilities, primarily within the Maps app, this new standalone app takes things to the next level by providing hands-free conversational assistance during rides. This development is long overdue, considering AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and Copilot are already available on CarPlay.
