Google Assistant is definitely dead: Google has announced the date it will be shut down for good

Google Assistant was a very interesting assistant. Many people used it in smart homes and cars, but it had many shortcomings. Google understood this and gradually began to develop its successor. It became Gemini and both AI assistants have been working in parallel for some time now. But this dual era is slowly coming to an end. Google announced some time ago that it would completely shut down Google Assistant. And now the date has been leaked when it will definitely leave for silicon heaven.

Google Now was introduced in 2016 and it felt a bit like a revelation. At the time, most of us had only a vague idea of ​​artificial intelligence, and a smart assistant that understood voice commands seemed a bit like something out of science fiction. But its various flaws soon began to show. And now all hope that Google would keep it running is over. It probably won't even live to see its 10th anniversary..

Google posted an announcement on its support forum that it is still possible to use Google Assistant and Gemini, but not for too long. He clearly wrote here that Google Assistant will be available until March 2026Either Google will shut it down sometime in March, or it will wait until April 1. And this time it will not be an April Fool's joke.
