Exploring the Limitations of Gemini: A First-Hand Experience

Recently, I had the opportunity to try out the Gemini app based on a recommendation from my Android device. My initial excitement dwindled quickly after just three minutes of interaction with the app.

I started by asking Gemini to remind me of something scheduled for 7 PM. Unfortunately, it couldn’t fulfill this simple request without requiring additional steps and unnecessary complications. As someone accustomed to the streamlined functionality of other assistant apps, this was a disappointing revelation.

Next, I attempted to use Gemini’s music recognition feature, hoping it might help me identify a song playing nearby. To my surprise, this feature was also unavailable at the moment, highlighting a significant limitation in its capabilities.

After these encounters, I quickly found myself reverting back to Google Assistant, which offers a more seamless and comprehensive user experience. This led me to question: what practical applications can Gemini provide in the real world?

While new technology often needs time to evolve and improve, my brief trial raises concerns about its current usability and effectiveness. If you’re considering giving Gemini a try, my advice would be to approach it with tempered expectations.
