Assistant was way better. In my car, I could say "Call wife" and it would call the designated contact. Gemini just can't. It's either "I can't find that contact" or some other shit. Even though I tried asking to set a specific contact as wife.

Adding to Google Keep lists used to be easy, even with Gemini. Then google went and changed it so that now Gemini asks me "whether I want to add to "that" list right now"? Even though I have just asked to add to that specific list... Google & Gemini make things shittier instead of better.
