‘Gemini Intelligence’ Will Soon Be Able to Automate Tasks on Android Devices

‘Gemini Intelligence’ Will Soon Be Able to Automate Tasks on Android Devices

SMRTR summary

Your spin class bike might soon be booked before you even think to ask.

Google is rolling out a sweeping upgrade to its Gemini AI assistant, weaving it deeper into Android phones, smartwatches, cars, and smart glasses. The centerpiece is a new "Gemini Intelligence" system, arriving this summer on Samsung Galaxy S26 and Pixel 10 devices, designed to automate multi-step tasks across apps with minimal human input.

"Gemini will navigate tasks for you, whether it's snagging a front-row bike for your spin class or finding your class syllabus in Gmail then putting the books you need in your cart," Google explained.

The assistant will also power custom home screen widgets and connect to Android's Autofill feature on an opt-in basis.

Chrome for Android gets Gemini too, starting in June in the US, including an "Auto Browse" feature that can book appointments and order food, though it's designed to pause and confirm before completing sensitive actions like purchases.
