Googles annual developers conference has come and gone, but I still have no idea what was announced.
I mean,I do.
But then that was it.

There was little on theadvent of Android 15and what it would bring to the operating system.
We didnt get the second beta reveal until the conferences second day.

It was a challenging year to go to Google I/O as a user of its existing products.
But I kept thinking about Gemini everywhere I went and what it would do to the current user experience.
The keynote did little to convince me that this is the future I want.
Put your faith in Gemini AI
I believe that Googles Gemini is capable of many incredible things.
For one, I actively useCircle to Search, so I get it.
That will undoubtedly be helpful when it comes out and fully integrates into the operating system.
When do we use Gemini?
When will the technology be ready to replace the remnants of the current Google Assistant?
The keynote and demonstrations at Google I/O failed to answer these two questions.
Google presented many examples of how developers will benefit from whats to come.
For instance, Project Astra can look at your code and help you improve it.
But I dont code, so I didnt immediately resonate with this use case.
Then Google showed us how Gemini will be able to remember where objects were last placed.
But there was no mention of that.
What good is a contextual AI if its not shown being used in context?
Perhaps the reason is that Google doesnt want to scare anyone off.
But as a user, the silence is scarier than anything else.
