Gemini task automation is slow, clunky, and super impressive
Summary
Google has launched Gemini task automation, a feature that lets an AI assistant use apps on your phone to complete tasks for you, currently available on Pixel 10 Pro and Galaxy S26 Ultra phones in beta. The feature works with a limited number of services like food delivery and rideshare apps, and while it's slow and sometimes clunky, it represents an early example of an AI actually performing actions on a device rather than just answering questions.
