Google announced a dedicated Gemini app on Apple CarPlay is rolling out around the world in several languages starting today, letting users have conversations with the AI assistant directly from their vehicle dashboard.
Conversations on an iPhone automatically sync to CarPlay, so you can continue a previous conversation or start a new one from the dashboard. For example, you can ask Gemini “Give me my daily brief for today” and it can give a personalized answer based on information in apps such as Gmail and Google Calendar. Or, while driving, you could ask “What’s a quick lunch spot in downtown Austin that’s easy to get in and out of?”
To get started, make sure you have the latest version of the Gemini app on your iPhone, then tap the Gemini icon on CarPlay to begin a conversation.
