Something felt off when I watched Google’s Android AI presentation<\/a> this week. My colleague Andrew Lanxon summed up the issue perfectly<\/a>: All of Google’s AI use-case examples revolved around spending large sums of money on shopping and travel, making the presentation — in his words — a “salute to rampant capitalism.”<\/p>\n

But this Google gaffe isn’t just an Android-user issue, as Gemini could influence the future of Siri. Apple partnered with Google to build a better Siri<\/a>, and whatever Apple shows off next<\/a> will be built with the aid of Gemini’s models and programming. So in this week’s episode of One More Thing, embedded below, I examine the good and bad of the new Gemini Intelligence, and how it might mesh with what we want from Apple Intelligence.<\/p>\n

Unless you like ordering food, spin classes and concert tickets with AI, not much of what’s new from Gemini will impress. (There were even some voice commands I could already do from my iPhone easily, like finding late-night pizza joints.) Still, I’ll admit there were two new Android features that could give iPhone owners a little Android envy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Spoiler: Booking Costa Rican coffee and chocolate tours for a party of six was not one of them.<\/p>\n
