Today, Google officially announced Gemini Go — a trimmed-down version of the company's AI agent for Android Go devices. It replaces Assisstant Go and can do a bunch of cool new things.
Gemini Go is a streamlined version of Gemini designed to help you stay connected and get things done, even on devices with lower storage. It replaces Assistant Go, providing a new conversational experience right on your phone.

Hardware requirements for Gemini Go

Gemini Go is made for Android Go devices, which typically sport modest hardware. The minimum requirement is 2GB of RAM or more and Android 13 (Go edition).
The AI agent is available through Google Search, and you can start a conversation with the AI by pressing and holding the Home button or doing the same with the Power button on some devices.
It's a gradual rollout
Gemini Go might not be available on your Android Go device yet, as Google is using a typical gradual rollout for the new feature.
This means that it might take a week or two before all supported devices get the AI agent. You can see if the update is coming in your country here.
