Episode 10 walks you step-by-step through installing the Google Gemini app on your iPhone and wiring it into Siri using the Shortcuts app so Gemini can act as your voice assistant.

You’ll learn how to download and sign into Gemini, create a single shortcut (Talk Live with Gemini), rename it (e.g., Gemini), and trigger it with "Hey Siri," the Action button, or Back Tap. The episode also notes the difference between Gemini’s free Flash model and paid Pro/Ultra tiers.

Follow the short, hands-on instructions to test the assistant and customize activation so you can replace Siri with Gemini immediately.
