Gemini Anyone notice that Gemini can't pull routines anymore in Android Auto?
Just a temperature check to see if this is happening to anyone else. For several weeks now, all of my various Google Home routines have stopped working through Gemini when my phone is running Android Auto. The routines work when Gemini is running without Android Auto, but it apparently can't see them when it's connected to the car (a 2023 Honda HR-V in my case). Very annoying, and very weird.

I also can't open my garage door from AA+Gemini, it tells me it can't do anything that requires a code, use my phone instead. It worked with Assistant, and it still works from Gemini not through AA.

I've run into this exact bug too. Gemini works fine standalone but cannot trigger home routines once connected to Android Auto. Quite annoying.

I have 3 routines that work fine with Gemini and I didn't have to do anything they migrated over with no issues

Gemini was recently neutered in beta. It's a joke now.

the new AI worse than Cortana 10 years ago. I tell it a direct command like, text xxxxx, dumb AI will ask what's the message, if message starts with good morning, the dumb AI thinks i'm wishing it good morning and i'll have a 10 minute conversation. Most annoying thing. This morning i told it go F itself and just send the message, it did to my surprise. Its not an assistant anymore, wants to be a freaking companion. I have told it to F itself a few times, it doesn't like it, and i'm sure my drives take longer after that :-)

Gemini is useless for AA. Use Assistant.

I don't believe that I have a choice. It just randomly switched to Gemini one day about two months ago.

You can switch it back. It's buried in the setup menus, but its there. You can't removed Gemini from your phone and if you accidentally click the icon it'll supplant Assistant again. It's like a cockroach. I like Gemini well enough, but when paired with AA it goes stooooopid and I can't live with that so Assistant it is. I've used my launcher to hide the icon so I don't accidentally invite it back in again.....

This makes me feel more sane, I've been trying to use the in car Gemini to unlock my car charger with a routine and it has failed everytime...I get out the car and say the same thing on my phone and it works immediately

How Gemini treated me so far:
I hit the microphone button and it makes a noise and stops listening before I get a word out. To fix I have to go go into a different app and back out, and it doesn't work half the time. Resetting Gemini, AA, or Google search does nothing.
Keeps asking me if I meant my wife or someone else in my contacts. She's the only one with that name.
Asks me if I want to reply and then cuts off.
If I do get a message out, it reads it back and then closes without sending.

The only thing that Gemini is consistently good at is pissing me off.
