Google is giving Pixel users another reason to experiment with their home screens. Its AI-powered Create My Widget tool, which can generate custom widgets from simple text prompts, is now rolling out to the Pixel 10 and Pixel 11 series with the November 2026 Pixel Feature Drop.
By accessing the "Describe your widget" interface, users can type out natural-language instructions. The AI will then generate a carousel of Material-style widgets complete with relevant icons and data formatting.
From the preview screen, users can pin the result to their home screen, go to an edit menu to tweak the layout, or scrap it and generate a completely new design if they don't like it. Those who have always found system widgets limiting will be pleased with the feature.
Google says the feature is rolling out to "select regions and languages", but hasn't highlighted them. The supported roster includes the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL and Pixel 10 Pro Fold, alongside the entire new Pixel 11 family.
Unfortunately, like the rollout of the Rambler voice typing feature on the Pixel 10 series, the Pixel 10a has been left off the eligibility list.
That said, Wear OS fans also have something to look forward to, as Google confirmed the widget-generation tool will eventually make its way to the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Watch 5 in English-supported regions.
Additionally, Google has extended the Pixel 11 Pro HiLight feature to Google Messages, allowing users to see who has messaged them. With the Android 17 QPR2 stable arriving early, Google is now focusing on Android 17 QPR3 Beta, which is expected to bring a host of new features in the future, so stay tuned.
