"Google is announcing a host of new Gemini features during its pre-I/O Android showcase, many of which aim to help use your phone for you. You'll find Gemini in more places, like Chrome on Android, in your autofill suggestions, and all up in your apps - if you want."
"Google also has a new name for us to remember, because it just can't help itself: Gemini Intelligence. It "brings the very best of Gemini to our most advanced Android devices," according to Google's director of Android experiences, Ben Greenwood. Google is bundling some existing and new Gemini features under this name, and seems to be reserving them for premium Android phones like the Galaxy S26 series."
"Task automation is apparently one of those "best of Gemini" features. It's already on some recent Pixel and Samsung Galaxy phones, and it enables Gemini to use certain apps on your behalf. It's been limited to a handful of rideshare and food delivery apps until now. That's changing "soon," says Google, when task automation will open up to a wider range of apps."
"It will also add multimodality; previously, Gemini could only use voice or text prompts to inform its actions. Now you can throw a screengrab or a pho"
Google is rolling out new Gemini capabilities during its Android showcase, aiming to make phones more autonomous. Gemini will appear in additional places on Android, including Chrome, autofill suggestions, and within apps, with user control over whether it is enabled. Google is also introducing the branding “Gemini Intelligence” for its most advanced Android devices, bundling existing and new features and reserving them for premium phones. Task automation will expand beyond limited rideshare and food delivery apps to a wider set of apps “soon.” Multimodality is also being added, allowing Gemini to use images such as screenshots or photos, not just voice or text, to guide actions.
