Google is bringing AI and biometric tools to Android

Google announced a number of new AI features branded as Gemini Intelligence at its Android Show: I/O Edition event on Tuesday. This includes the ability of AI to complete tasks across apps, browse the web, fill out forms, dictate speech, and even allow you to code your Android gadgets.

Gemini becomes more powerful

The company had already introduced some agent capabilities, such as ordering food or booking a ride, to Gemini when it launched the Samsung Galaxy S26 earlier this year. There, Google announced that Gemini would soon be able to perform more complex tasks, such as reserving a bike in the front row for a class, finding a syllabus in Gmail, and then searching for books related to that subject.

Now Google’s AI Assistant will be able to handle a multi-step process, like copying a grocery list from the Notes app, then adding items to the cart in your shopping app. To use this feature, you have to press the phone’s power button and describe the task. Meanwhile, the content on the phone’s screen serves as context for the assistant. Google notes that Gemini will wait for your final confirmation to complete the payment.

Additionally, a feature first introduced in January allowed Gemini to browse the web for you and complete tasks like booking an appointment, as part of the beta. Today, Google said that this auto-browsing feature is making its way to Android as well.

In late June, Android devices will also get Gemini in Chrome, an AI feature that will help users summarize content or ask questions about what’s on a web page, similar to how Gemini in Chrome works on desktop.

Another small but useful addition is that Gemini will be able to fill out forms for you after learning details about you through personal intelligence. (Google said this feature is opt-in, and you can turn it off via Settings at any time.)

Additionally, Gemini will be coming to Gboard for Android. Google is harnessing Gemini’s multimedia capabilities by introducing a feature called Rambler in Gboard, which is similar to those found in other AI-powered dictation apps. This feature will allow you to speak in your own tone, transcribe speech, and format it by removing filler words.

Vibe-coding apps are picking up pace, and Google wants to give Android users a taste of that, too.

The company offers a way for users to create Android widgets by describing them in natural language. For example, users can create a meal planning widget with query text such as “Suggest three recipes for high-protein meals each week.”

The idea of ​​creating a widget is not new to Gemini. Notably, hardware startup Nothing also released a similar tool last year.

Google said Gemini Intelligence will follow Material 3’s expressive design language in its features.

The company said these AI-powered features will first make their way to the latest Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel devices this summer and will be available across other Android devices later this year.
