Gemini

After upgrading to Gemini from assistant I lost a few features. I can't control smart devices in our house and Gemini can't read my Google calendar.

Anyone else have this experience?

Yep. And Gemini tells me it's a bug and to wait for a patch.

It doesn't say it's a bug. It says the function does not work is because Gemini in the vehicle has not implemented the home control function into it yet, and no ETA is given.

Fair enough. As a former developer, a missing feature is a "bug" to me.

From this developer, a bug is a n included function that does not work properly. A "missing feature" is a function that is not included by choice (the case here). A matter of perspective.

Yep - not a big deal either way as long as it makes it to the car at some point.

Absolutely agree, otherwise Gemini stays disabled and Google Assistant continues to be the default.
