An APK teardown of the Google app suggests Gemini could soon get support for Assistant Routines.
The lack of Routines is a big reason why many people are hanging with Google Assistant instead of jumping to Gemini.
Unfortunately, how exactly Routines will integrate into Gemini is unknown, as is when the feature might launch.
Way back in 2017, Google announced Google Assistant Routines. The feature allows you to execute multiple tasks with just one voice command. For example, you could say, “Hey Google, lets watch a movie,†and Assistant could turn down your lights, turn on the TV, and set your phone into Do Not Disturb mode, all at once. Although Google is positioning the generative AI-powered Gemini (https://www.androidauthority.com/gemini-ai-google-pixel-3392146/) as a replacement for Google Assistant, Gemini still doesnt support something similar to Routines. Thankfully, that could change soon.
In the latest beta version of the Google app for Android (15.24.28.29.arm64 beta), we found a work-in-progress page that clearly references Assistant Routines and how Gemini will support them. You can see this page  which, we must emphasize, is a work in progress  in the screenshot below:
