Simple tasks barely work and it offloads anything useful to the old assistant anyway.
Even worse, some more obscure things I used Google Assistant for, like a coin throw, are not even forwarded to the old assistant. I only get a “I’m sorry, but I can’t do that, but I can explain to you what a coin is”.
How did you set up the button? Is there a widget for it I did not see?
I removed Gemini and installed assistant. That made it searchable in my app list. Then I just plopped the button on my home screen. When I short press the button it pops up something that asks me to try Gemini, but I just say whatever it is I want and it does it just like it used to in the search bar.
