It comes as the company tries to get more AI features in front of consumers
Google announced its new Android software update and smartphone series that utilize its Gemini AI assistant.
One example the company provided involved a user uploading a photo of a concert list and asking Gemini to see if their calendar is free, after which Gemini checks Google Calendar. If the user has availability in their schedule, Gemini offers to create a reminder to check ticket prices later that night.
The company also said a user might ask the Gemini assistant to draft an email and"create an image of a cake for someone who loves space," which the assistant can create and attach to the email. Or, in YouTube, a user might ask Gemini a question about the content in a video. Apple's system is currently in testing. Some early features will launch this fall alongside new iPhones, but the bulk of the system won't be released until next year.Google also announced its latest line of homegrown"Pixel" phones, including the Pixel 9, the Pixel 9 Pro, the Pixel 9 Pro XL and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, which come with the Gemini AI features.
