GoKawiilGoogle announced a number of new Gemini Intelligence-branded AI features at its “Android Show: I/O Edition” event on Tuesday. These include the ability for AI to complete tasks across apps, browse the web, fill out forms, dictate speech, and even allow you to vibe-code your own Android widgets.
Gemini gets more powerful
The company had already introduced some agentic capabilities, such as ordering food or booking a ride, to Gemini at the Samsung Galaxy S26 launch earlier this year. There, Google announced that Gemini would soon be able to perform more complex tasks, like booking a front-row bike for a spin class, finding a class syllabus in Gmail, and then searching for books related to that topic.

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

In addition, a feature first introduced in January had allowed Gemini to browse the web for you and complete tasks like booking an appointment, as part of an experimental rollout. Today, Google said this auto browse feature is making its way to Android, too.
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 is on the webpage, similar to how Gemini in Chrome works on the desktop.
Another small but useful addition is that Gemini will be able to fill out forms on your behalf after learning details about you through Personal Intelligence. (Google said this feature is opt-in, and you can turn it off via settings anytime.)
Plus, Gemini will come to Android's Gboard keyboard. Google is using Gemini's multimodal capabilities by introducing a feature called Rambler in Gboard, which is similar to those found in other AI-powered dictation apps. The feature will let you speak in your own tone, transcribe the speech, and format it by removing filler words.
