"Alphabet Inc.'s Google is adding new artificial intelligence features to its Pixel devices, including iPhone-like message summaries and notification prioritization. The new features, rolling out Tuesday, are powered by on-device AI. Texts across chat apps can be recapped in the notification shade, allowing users to quickly catch up on group chats and other lengthy threads. Last year, Apple Inc. introduced a similar tool as part of Apple Intelligence."
"Google is also rolling out a feature that prioritizes preferred contacts from Google Messages and WhatsApp, which the company calls VIPs. This elevates alerts to the phone's status bar that runs across the top of the interface. Google will also add a crisis badge in its Contacts widget to help users keep tabs on their priority contacts during a critical situation."
