TL;DR
- Google is working on a new way for users to create scheduled actions in Gemini on Android.
- This includes a UI that allows users to name, describe, and schedule these actions — just like on the web.
- Previously, app users were forced to create actions using a prompt.
Google introduced Scheduled Actions to Gemini last year, and since its arrival, it has become one of Gemini’s best features. It allows users to schedule and run various tasks through the AI assistant, turning Gemini into a useful automation tool. If you wanted to create a daily digest of news sources delivered to you before bed every night, you could use the feature to do just that. It’s incredibly extensible.
There remains a gulf between the feature’s functionality on the web and in the Gemini app, including the ability to easily create these actions via a UI. However, it now appears that Google is plugging this gap.
