- Google is rolling out an updated overlay for the Gemini AI assistant with a more rounded design.
- The new interface features an animated circular entrance that expands into a pill-shaped form, complementing the rounded design to give the overlay a fun appearance.
- We previously spotted these changes, and they are now appearing for some users.
Google has been making great progress with Gemini, to the point that it stands on par with its competitors. Its default presence on and deep integration within Android flagships helps give it a ready user base, and I know plenty of people who have warmed up to the idea of the AI digital assistant. Google had been testing a subtle tweak to the Gemini overlay to make it more appealing to users, and it seems the company has now started rolling it out to some users in the stable branch.
Over the past month, Google has been working on some tweaks to the Gemini overlay, including changes to its coloring and shape, as well as some animation changes. Reddit user Disastrous_Box1177 (via 9to5Google) reports that they have received the change, and they’ve shared a video showing off a more-rounded Gemini overlay with a bouncy animation.
