Google’s Gemini AI chatbot app is coming to Apple CarPlay. The company has confirmed that it is. bringing the full Gemini Live conversation experience to CarPlay starting today.
CarPlay now supports all major AI chatbots
Google bringing Gemini to CarPlay is particularly noteworthy for a reason. Gemini was the last major obstacle to AI-powered chatbots.
CarPlay has long supported AI chatbot apps and other conversational apps.
iPhone apps including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot, Meta AI and Grok have already provided CarPlay support. Siri includes a standalone app in iOS 27, which also supports CarPlay.
Google has previously supported Gemini features via Google Maps on CarPlay, but not the Gemini Live experience via the dedicated chatbot app.
The Gemini CarPlay app is available starting today
“Gemini on Apple CarPlay will roll out globally starting today to all Gemini users on iOS in all languages supported by Gemini Live,” Google says.
“To get started, make sure you’ve updated to the latest version of the Gemini app on your iPhone, enabled microphone permissions, and have used Gemini Live on your phone at least once. The next time you connect your phone to your car, tap the Gemini icon on the CarPlay display, then start a new conversation or pick up a recent one.”
The app update doesn’t appear to be live yet, but Google’s announcement makes it clear that we should expect the CarPlay app update to arrive as early as today.
