TL;DR Gemini has been working to implement “projects” in its Android app.
Earlier development work suggested projects may have to be created on the web, but it now looks like they can originate in the app, as well.
Google’s also considering some reorganization for a few of Gemini’s menu options.
AI tools like Gemini have proven their usefulness in plenty of situations, but despite their flexibility, sometimes we’re going to want to keep our interactions with them really focused and compartmentalized.

That’s a little frustrating, as we’d very much like to get a better understanding of Google’s intentions for this feature, but we have managed to identify a new string that shines some light on how it will work:
