Google Gemini can now handle scheduled tasks like an assistant
1 min read
Summary
Google is enhancing its AI offering, Google Gemini, by launching a “scheduled actions” feature that enables users to set recurring tasks for the assistant, such as generating ideas for blog posts on a particular day of the week, or providing a summary of a calendar on a daily basis.
The feature is aimed at the more sophisticated AI Pro and AI Ultra user bases, and works by setting a time and date in the future for Gemini to complete a specific one-off task when told.
Google says the new functionality allows users to manage planned tasks via the ‘scheduled actions’ page in the settings of the Gemini app, and the addition comes as the tech giant looks to deepen the abilities of its AI assistant to perform more agent-like tasks in the future, competing with the likes of OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
