Google showcases Gemini Intelligence's agentic automation capabilities for Android phones

The new Gemini Intelligence, a generative Artificial Intelligence bot is capable of performing the most complex tasks with less supervision.

At the Android Show: I/O Edition 2026 event, smartphone users got a glimpse at Gemini AI's agentic capabilities on Android handsets.

Google engineers spent several months fine-tuning multi-step automation capabilities on the Galaxy S26 and Pixel 10 series and are ready to bring them to premium Android phones.

Called Gemini Intelligence, a generative Artificial Intelligence bot is capable of performing the most complex tasks with less supervision.

For instance, if a user has a very long list of grocery items in his notes app and wants to buy them on an e-commerce app. The user has to just invoke the Gemini AI by long pressing the power button and just tell the bot to buy those items on a particular quick commerce app. It will match corresponding items, and once all of them are added to the cart, the user will review and make the purchase.

Similarly, if the user has a travel brochure, he/she can take a picture and ask Gemini to find similar travel packages on different agency websites and come up with a comparison list. It will perform the task on the screen visible to the user. And once done, he/she can make an informed decision on which package to take and set a date for the trip.

Autofill feature of Gemini Intelligence.

The Chrome app for Android will also Gemini Intelligence feature. It can help with research, summarise and compare content across the web.

The Chrome auto browse can also take care of more mundane tasks on the user's behalf, whether it’s appointment booking or reserving a parking spot.

The Autofill feature will also be getting a booster dose of Gemini Intelligence. Once the permission is given, the latter can scrape through the device's entire photo album and files, to fill the required data on the online form in a few seconds. This is a much-needed feature, as it is a tedious task to fill out online forms on the compact screen of a mobile phone.

Gboard, which can turn audio to text for messaging and emails, will soon get the Gemini Intelligence-based Rambler feature. Usually, when conversing, humans use 'ums,' 'ahs' and 'likes' between words and sometimes even swallow words. This is where it comes into play. It will auto-correct them and fill the gaps with appropriate words with correct sentence structure, and ensure it is grammatically correct and concise. It is also capable of understanding the speech even if it has a mix of two or three languages.

Like the AI-generated themes and wallpapers, Google Intelligence will be able to create a personalised widget for users on Android phones.

With just a text description, it can churn out a custom widget.

For instance, if a user is planning a family reunion in Udupi (a coastal town of Karnataka), Gemini can organise his/her flight/train/bus details and hotel information, restaurant reservations and even a countdown in a single, helpful spot on the phone's home screen, delivering a truly personalised user experience.

Initially, Gemini Intelligence will be made available in the latest Galaxy S26 series and Pixel 10 series phones in the coming weeks. It be expanded to more Android phones later this year.
