Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) stock rose 2% as Google announced the rollout of its Gemini AI assistant to Wear OS smartwatches, expanding the reach of its artificial intelligence capabilities to wearable devices [1]. The tech giant is bringing its personal AI assistant to watches from manufacturers including Pixel, Samsung (KS:005930), OPPO, OnePlus, and Xiaomi (OTC:XIACF). Users can activate Gemini by saying "Hey Google," pressing the watch’s side button, or tapping the Gemini app icon.

Gemini on Wear OS allows users to speak naturally to their watches and receive concise responses directly on their wrist. The AI assistant can help manage tasks across various apps, remember important details, and provide timely information without requiring users to check their phones. Google also announced that Circle to Search, its visual search feature, is now available on more than 300 million Android devices. The company is enhancing this feature with AI Mode, which allows users to explore complex topics and ask follow-up questions without switching apps.

Additionally, Google is extending Circle to Search functionality to mobile gaming, enabling players to get real-time assistance without leaving their games. The company is also upgrading AI Overviews with improved readability and more visual content. For Pixel 9 Pro owners, Google is offering a free one-year subscription to Google AI Pro, which includes access to Veo 3, a feature that generates short videos with natural audio based on user descriptions.

Meanwhile, Samsung is offering a $90 discount on its Galaxy Watch 7, bringing the starting price down to $209.

These announcements represent Google’s continued push to integrate its AI capabilities across its ecosystem of devices and services as competition in the AI space intensifies. Samsung's discount offer is a strategic move to boost sales and clear out inventory.
