How to Switch Back to Google Assistant from Gemini

If you’ve been using Gemini but now want to switch back to Google Assistant, it’s easy. If you’re missing the familiar features of Google Assistant or just prefer its quick responses and screen search/translate features, then it only makes sense to switch back to Google Assistant.

Gemini may be good for LLM-like tasks, but, in its current state, it feels slower and less intelligent than Google Assistant when it comes to basic tasks. So, here’s a guide on how to make Google Assistant your default voice assistant again.
