Gemini task automation is slow, clunky, and super impressive

Back to overview

Google's new Gemini task automation feature allows the AI to control apps and perform tasks autonomously on Pixel 10 Pro and Galaxy S26 Ultra. Currently limited to food delivery and ridesharing services, the feature is slow and cumbersome but impressive. It marks the first time Gemini directly operates applications on behalf of users, representing significant progress in practical AI automation despite current limitations.
