Android's AI Overhaul: Gemini Powers New App Automations
12 May
Summary
- Android is getting smarter with Gemini AI for app automation.
- New features will allow apps to interact for complex tasks.
- Auto Browse feature for AI-powered web parsing is coming soon.
Google is preparing to unveil significant artificial intelligence advancements for Android at its upcoming I/O conference. These new features, consolidated under the Gemini Intelligence brand, aim to bring enhanced automation and personalization to smartphones in the coming months.
A key focus will be on expanding app automation, building on earlier testing with services like DoorDash and Uber. Google has refined the system to enable more sophisticated interactions between applications. Users could potentially see Gemini extract information from an email, such as a course syllabus, and then use a shopping app to add the necessary materials to a cart.
This advanced automation, however, will initially be limited to specific app categories like food ordering, grocery delivery, and ride-hailing. For broader web-based tasks, the Gemini-powered Auto Browse feature, previously available on desktop Chrome, is slated for an Android launch by the end of June. This functionality will support all devices running Android 12 and higher, leveraging cloud-based Gemini models to interpret webpages and manage multi-step processes.
