Crusty in the right places. Worth the chew.
Summary
Google's Gemini AI is introducing task automation capabilities that allow it to perform real-world actions like booking Uber rides and placing DoorDash orders autonomously. The feature will debut on select Pixel 10 phones and Samsung Galaxy S26 series devices, where users can give voice commands to Gemini, which then executes tasks step-by-step in a virtual window with user oversight and control options.
Key quotes
· 5 pulledGoogle's Gemini AI is getting one step closer to being more like an actual assistant.
Starting with some Pixel 10 phones and the Samsung Galaxy S26 series, Gemini will be able to hail an Uber or put together a DoorDash order on its own.
It's called task automation, and it starts with a prompt to Gemini — something like 'Get me an Uber to the Palace of Fine Arts.'
Gemini then launches the app in a virtual window on your device and goes through the process step-by-step.
You can watch it all happen, with options to stop the automation or take control if necessary, or just let it run in the background.
