Summary

A new 'Answer now' button speeds up Gemini's responses.
The feature skips in-depth AI thinking for faster results.
Currently in beta for US-based AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.

Google Gemini is rolling out a new 'Answer now' button designed to accelerate responses for straightforward questions. This functionality, observed in the Android, iPhone, and web versions, allows users to bypass the AI's intensive processing for faster, less in-depth answers while still using their selected model.

The 'Answer now' button appears when using Gemini's Pro or Thinking models. Upon activation, it indicates 'Skipping in-depth thinking' before providing the final, quicker response. This aims to streamline the user experience, particularly when seeking brief information without the need to switch between different AI models.

This feature is presently available in beta for Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers within the United States, accessible via Gemini's settings. Future updates are expected to integrate Google Calendar, Drive, and other Workspace applications, further enhancing Gemini's capabilities.
