I read the article and I still don't really understand what this is.

It's Google Assistant, but worse with confessed mistakes.

I didn't think it was possible to make Google Assistant worse at this point tbh... but I'm sure Google can prove me wrong.

When you ask assistant to set a timer it may hang up. Most of the time that works (for me). Gemini can't do that or couldn't do that about a month ago when I was seeing articles about it. There's key functionality of assistant that Gemini is just bad at. Ask it to launch an app for you? It will bring up a search of app launchers. It will not launch Gmail.
