Google just unveiled Gemini Intelligence on Android, which is a new agentic AI layer that brings its most capable Gemini features to flagship devices. It can complete multi-step tasks across apps, enhance your voice notes and even build custom widgets on the fly. Google says Gemini Intelligence starts rolling out this summer on the latest Samsung Galaxy S26 and Google Pixel 10 phones.

Gemini Will Now Run Errands Across Your Apps

The headline feature of Gemini Intelligence is multi-step app automation. Gemini can now navigate full tasks for you, like booking a front-row bike for your spin class or pulling your class syllabus from Gmail and adding the books you need to a cart.

It gets even more interesting with visual context. You can long-press the Power button over a grocery list in your notes app and ask Gemini to build a shopping cart for delivery. In case you spot a travel brochure in a hotel, just take a photo of it and say, "Find a tour like this on Expedia for a group of six".

You can track the progress via live notifications. And importantly, Gemini only acts on your command and asks for confirmation before making any purchases.

Apart from that, Google has introduced Rambler, a new voice-to-text feature built for people who like to speak more than type. You can ramble and say "ums" and "ahs" and even mix English with Hindi in a single sentence. Rambler takes the important bits and makes them into a concise message. Google says the audio is only used to transcribe in real-time and is not stored or saved.

Next, Gemini Intelligence also brings something called Create My Widget. Basically, you can describe a widget in plain language, and Gemini builds it for you. Simply ask for "three high-protein meal prep recipes every week", and you get a custom dashboard on your home screen. If you are a cyclist who cares about wind speed and rain, you can create a weather widget that only shows those stats.

Following that, Autofill with Google is also getting smarter. Now with Gemini's Personal Intelligence, it can fill out long forms across apps, including Chrome, by pulling relevant information from your connected apps.

What About Privacy?

David Kleidermacher, VP of Platforms Security and Privacy at Google says, "Android is evolving from an operating system into an intelligence system". So, the company is laying out three guiding principles for Gemini Intelligence: explicit user control, comprehensive data protection and operational transparency.

It basically means that every Gemini Intelligence feature is opt-in and come with granular toggles in settings. Gemini can only access the apps you allow it to work in, not the whole device. And a notification chip stays pinned to the top of your screen while a task is running, so you always know when it is working. You can also tap "View progress" to watch it in real-time or stop the task at any point.
