Google has recently released Gemini task automation, enabling users to execute complex tasks like reordering food and booking rides through basic voice commands. The AI assistant operates in the background, letting users work on their mobile phones uninterrupted.
Users can activate Gemini by long-pressing the power button and then providing commands. The AI chatbot performs in-app functions such as item selection and destination setting. The system requests user confirmation before processing any payment, allowing them to manage the entire process.
The Gemini feature is currently limited to a few specific applications like Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Grubhub, Uber Eats, and Starbucks. Google plans to expand this list in the future based on user feedback and app compatibility.

Google has implemented multiple security features to protect users. Gemini begins processing tasks only when users issue a command. They receive notifications that allow them to monitor progress. Gemini operates within a protected space, preventing it from accessing any other model components.
The feature is available on Samsung Galaxy S26 phones and will soon be available on Pixel 10 series as a beta in select regions. The initial tests demonstrate successful results for basic tasks, although it does not consistently outperform manual operation. Users have reported minor problems, such as app freezing.
Gemini task automation is a step toward smarter AI assistants. It helps reduce repetitive workflows while enabling users to multitask. The feature is still in the development phase, but it has strong potential to provide users with daily benefits.
