Alphabet partnered with Apple to integrate its Gemini AI models. Gemini will power a completely new version of Apple’s voice assistant, Siri. This strategic collaboration places Google’s AI on billions of consumer devices. The new Siri features advanced conversational capabilities, contextual awareness, and deeper app integrations.
Google confirmed it is shutting down the Gmailify service. Gmailify allowed users to integrate third-party email accounts with Gmail features. This move follows the previously announced phasing out of Google Assistant in favor of Gemini. Google centralizes resources on the Gemini ecosystem.
Market reaction to the Apple partnership remains positive. Alphabet’s stock hit new highs. Its market capitalization surpassed $4 trillion earlier in the month. This performance validates the company's AI infrastructure as an industry standard.
