Gemini can now automate some multi-step tasks on Android
Google's Gemini AI on Android can now automate select multi-step tasks like ordering food or rideshares within supported apps.Summary
Google announced several updates to its Gemini AI features on Android, highlighted by a new capability to automate multi-step tasks such as ordering an Uber or food delivery within select apps. This feature is currently in beta, limited to food, grocery, and rideshare categories, and initially available in the U.S. and Korea on specific devices like the Pixel 10 series and Samsung Galaxy S26 series. Google implemented safety measures, requiring explicit user commands, allowing real-time progress monitoring, and ensuring automations run in a secure, limited-access virtual window. Other updates include expanding Scam Detection for phone calls to Samsung Galaxy S26 devices in the U.S. and using the on-device Gemini model to detect scam texts. Additionally, Circle to Search now allows users to search for all visible items on the screen simultaneously, rather than just a single object.
