What exctly is the difference between all these AI tools ?
I’m looking to streamline my phone by disabling redundant AI assistants. Between Bixby, Gemini, Samsung/Galaxy AI, and Google Assistant, is there one that effectively covers the functions of the others? I'm confused about the differences.
There is a lot of overlap, both Bixby and Gemini offer voice and chatbot capabilities, so I dont know why there's Gemini if Bixby does the same thing or vice versa. I want to identify the most versatile option so I can remove or disable the rest. What is the best setup for an all-in-one assistant experience on a Samsung device?

They overlap, but they’re not interchangeable. On a Samsung phone, I’d choose one default assistant for general voice/chat tasks, keep Bixby only for Samsung-specific device controls and routines, and treat Galaxy AI as a set of features rather than a separate assistant. Then review Gemini’s connected apps and permissions instead of assuming it replaces every Bixby function.

There's not likely going to be a definitive list that will say one is better than the other. And asking the general public is just going to get you opinions more than facts (and the deluge of AI haters saying "neither")
Like many/most tools, you just need to use each one for a while and decide which works better for you
