Google has introduced Gemini Intelligence, a set of artificial intelligence features for Android that promises to automate complex tasks in the background. The idea is for the system to search for information, interact with apps and websites on your behalf. However, its initial availability will be very limited, leaving many users out of the game for now.
Background automation and multilingual Gboard 🤖
The technical proposal of Gemini Intelligence focuses on executing processes without direct user intervention. You will be able to ask it to book an appointment or compare prices while using other apps. A standout feature comes to Gboard, allowing dictation with natural language, mixing languages and using filler words without the system getting stuck. All of this works with lightweight language models, optimized to run in the background without draining the battery.
The AI that talks like you, but only in theory 🗣️
The best part is that Gemini Intelligence understands your filler words and language switches. Now you can tell your phone: Hey, look for, um... I don't know, a place to eat, something like Italian, okay? And the system will process it without issues. The only downside is that, for now, this linguistic marvel will only be tested by a lucky few. The rest of us will keep talking to ourselves in front of the screen, as always.
