    Has anyone tried to see if Gemini works with a wake word? What about with Bluetooth headset?

      It works if you say Ok Google. But, if you need a custom keyword. You would need to use an automation app like Tasker, Automate, Macrodroid and invoke Gemini.

      As for bluetooth I don’t have an always on bluetooth speaker so cannot comment on that.

        I testdrove the S24 Ultra with Galaxy buds to try to switch from an iPhone and the biggest complaint I had is that “okay Google” from the earbuds basically never worked. The S25U has that walkie talkie button, but I only use my assistant via voice when my hands are full… it just kills it for me entirely.
