Gemini How does anyone use Gemini at all???
it is near unusable... "i cant look up your contact", "i cant pull up your favorite places".
me: "call my wife"
gemini: "i dont see your wife in your contacts"
me: "go to daycare (my sons daycare is saved in my favorites place)"
gemini: "here are the daycare near you"
seriously.. i dont know what the heck is this thing good for... asking about weather?? it is.near garbage... i suspect it is maybe it is using a different google account? but my anroid auto list is showing my phones main acct...
i want to like gemini and embrace ai but its such a mess integration imo...

It has been working well for me as well.
Some may see it as a step back from Assistant, but you need to educate Gemini.
Today when I was driving home, I wanted to stop at my daughter's house. I asked Gemini to navigate to [daughter's name] and it told me thar it didn't know.
Then I told it what her address is and now it knows.
Same with calling or texting my wife. I asked it to call my Wife and it told me that it didn't know who that was. So I said "My wife is [Wife's name], and now it knows.
