Samsung on Wednesday announced the integration of Gemini, Google's artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, into its lineup of wearables. Samsung Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Buds 3 series users will soon be able to leverage the AI assistant for setting up reminders, summarising texts, getting weather updates, and other activities that the AI bot previously allowed on phones. With this move, the company expands the presence of AI features across all devices in the Galaxy ecosystem.
In a press note, Samsung said that the introduction of Gemini on the Galaxy Watch marks the first-ever integration into the Galaxy wearable lineup. It will also be integrated into Samsung's flagship true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds — the Galaxy Buds 3 series, with activation process cited as “even smoother”.
On the Galaxy Watch, Gemini delivers hands-free assistance using natural voice commands. For example, users can ask Gemini to “Remember I'm using locker 43 today”, and the AI assistant will set a reminder for it. They can also ask it to summarise emails for quick overview. The company says Gemini handles requests across apps to deliver responses and take actions.
Meanwhile, Galaxy Buds 3 series users can have an even more seamless experience with Gemini, says Samsung. They can use voice commands or pinch and hold to invoke the AI assistant on the TWS earbuds to get weather updates, and more, without having to interact with the phone.
Notably, Google is also bringing Gemini to more devices. This announcement was part of The Android Show: I/O Edition, the company's buildup to the Google I/O 2025 which kicks off next week. As per the tech giant, it will come to smartwatches via Wear OS, on smart TVs via Android TV, and in-car infotainment systems via Android Auto. Additionally, headsets and smart glasses powered by Android XR operating system will also benefit from the AI assistant's capabilities.
While availability remains under question, Google hinted that features powered by Gemini will be available to all users.
