Google has previously announced that the Gemini generative AI chatbot will soon be integrated into Google Messages. Recently released screenshots, uncovered through code analysis by TheSpAndroid team (via Android Authority), provide a sneak peek into the appearance and functionality of this feature. The images demonstrate Gemini’s ability to create images, retrieve information from Google Maps, and offer code suggestions.

Additionally, the Gemini AI chatbot appears to access information from a linked Gmail account, and users must have a Google account to utilize the chatbot—it cannot function without one. Moreover, it seems that the AI bot is not designed to operate within group chats.

According to the report, Gemini within Google Messages appears unable to analyze images and provide responses to inquiries about them. However, Google assured Android Authority in a statement that this functionality is indeed integrated.

There aren’t any surprising revelations here, as Gemini in Google Messages appears to function similarly to its counterparts on the web and in the Android app. However, it’s intriguing to observe this technology integrated into Google’s default messaging app for their mobile operating system.

The timeline for when users can test this feature themselves remains unclear, although based on the latest leak, it shouldn’t be much longer. An official support page for the feature is already available, detailing how users can begin interacting with the chatbot.

Initially, the feature will be limited to specific Android devices: the Google Pixel 6 (or a later model), the Google Pixel Fold, the Samsung Galaxy S22 (or a later model), or any Samsung Galaxy Z Flip or Galaxy Z Fold.The advancement of AI technology is progressing swiftly, with further updates on Gemini anticipated at Google I/O 2024 on May 14.
