FULL STORY ====================================================================== Google's latest AI experiment, Gemini , is about to get a whole lot more useful thanks to support for third-party music streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music . This new development was apparently found in Geminis settings, and users will be able to pick their preferred streaming service to use within Gemini. Gemini has been running shifts all around different Google products, particularly as a digital assistant sometimes in place of and sometimes in tandem with Google Assistant . Its still somewhat limited compared to Assistant and is not at the stage where it can fully replace the Google staple. One of these limitations is that it cant enlist a streaming service of a users choice to play a song or other audio recording like many popular digital assistants (including Google Assistant) can. This might not be the case for long, however. The tech blog PiunikaWeb and X user @AssembleDebug claim that Gemini is getting the feature, and they have screenshots to back up their claim. Screenshots from PiunikaWebs tipster show that the Gemini apps settings now have a new Music option, with text reading Select preferred services used to play music underneath. This will presumably allow users to choose from whatever streaming services Google deems compatible. Once you choose a streaming service, Gemini will hopefully work seamlessly with that service and enable you to control it using voice commands. PiunikaWeb suggests that users will be able to use Gemini for song identification, possibly by letting Gemini listen to the song, and then interact with a streaming app to try and find the song thats playing in their surroundings, similar to the way Shazam works. If thats the case, thats one fewer separate app youll need. What we don't know yet, but hope to soon (Image credit: Shutterstock/Dean Drobot) This is all very exciting and from the screenshots, it looks like the feature is a good amount into development. Its not clear if PiunikaWebs tipster could get the feature to actually work or which streaming services will work in sync with Gemini, and we dont know when Google will roll this feature out. Still, its highly requested and a must if Google has plans for Gemini to take Assistants place, so itll probably be rolled out in a future Gemini update. Its also indicative to me that Google seems pretty committed to expanding Geminis repertoire so that it joins Googles other popular products and services. YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE...
