Gemini’s task automation is here and it’s wild
Summary
Google and Samsung announced that Gemini, their AI assistant, can now automate tasks by controlling apps on your behalf through a virtual interface, starting with food delivery and rideshare services. Users can give simple text prompts and Gemini will interact with these apps to complete actions like ordering food or booking rides, which is a capability AI assistants have long promised but rarely delivered.
