Gemini task automation is slow, clunky, and super impressive
"Gemini is much slower than you, or me, or most anyone at using their phone. If you need to order an Uber right this second, you're still the best person for the job."
"Task automation is designed to run in the background while you do other things on your phone. Even better, it keeps working while you're not looking at your phone."
"While it's working, text appears at the bottom of the screen indicating what Gemini is doing. Stuff like 'Selecting a second portion of Chicken Teriyaki for the combo.'"
Gemini's new task automation feature on the Pixel 10 Pro and Galaxy S26 Ultra allows AI to manage apps for users, currently limited to food delivery and rideshare services. Although it operates slowly and is still in beta, it represents a significant advancement in AI assistance on smartphones. The automation runs in the background, enabling users to multitask. Users can observe the process through on-screen text updates, showcasing Gemini's actions during tasks like ordering food.
