Google announced a number of new AI features under its Gemini Intelligence brand at Tuesday’s Android Show: I/O Edition event. These include the ability for AI to complete tasks across apps, browse the web, fill out forms, transcribe audio, and even allow you to vibecode your own Android widgets.
Gemini becomes even more powerful
The company had already introduced some agent features to Gemini, such as ordering food and booking rides, at the Samsung Galaxy S26 launch earlier this year. So Google announced that Gemini will soon be able to perform more complex tasks, such as booking a front-row bike for a spin class, searching Gmail for a class syllabus, and searching for books related to the topic.
Google’s AI assistant will be able to handle multi-step processes, such as copying shopping lists from the Notes app and adding items to carts in shopping apps. To use this feature, press the power button on your phone and perform the task. Meanwhile, the content on your phone’s screen serves as context for your assistant. Google said Gemini will wait for final confirmation to complete checkout.
Additionally, a feature first introduced in January allows Gemini to browse the web on your behalf and complete tasks such as making reservations as part of an experimental rollout. Today, Google announced that this auto-browsing feature is coming to Android as well.
Gemini in Chrome will be coming to Android devices in late June. It’s an AI feature that allows users to summarize content and ask questions about what’s on a web page, similar to how Chrome’s Gemini works on the desktop.
Another small but useful addition is the ability for Gemini to fill out forms on your behalf after learning your details through Personal Intelligence. (Google says this feature is opt-in and can be turned off at any time in settings.)
Additionally, Gemini is also coming to Android’s Gboard keyboard. Google is taking advantage of Gemini’s multimodal capabilities by introducing a feature called Rambler to Gboard. This is similar to what you’ll find in other AI-powered dictation apps. This feature allows you to speak in your own tone, transcribe audio, remove fillers, and format.
The Vibe coding app is picking up pace, and Google wants Android users to experience it too.
The company is introducing a way for users to build Android widgets by writing them in natural language. For example, users can build a meal planning widget with query text like “Suggest 3 high-protein meal prep recipes each week.”
The idea of creating widgets is not new to Gemini. Notably, hardware startup Nothing also released a similar tool last year.
Google said Gemini Intelligence’s features follow the company’s expressive design language, Material 3.
The company said these AI-powered features will first arrive on the latest Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel devices this summer, and will be available on other Android devices later this year.
