An everything bagel for the brain. Substantive, layered, well-seasoned.
Summary
Google announced new AI agent features for Gemini that can handle multistep tasks like ordering food or hailing rides, with initial availability on Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Samsung Galaxy S26 phones. The features resemble what Apple promised for Siri in 2024 but delayed in 2025, positioning Google and Samsung ahead in implementing practical AI assistant capabilities.
