How it works

A phone program that turns voice notes into text, places orders, creates home-screen widgets, and controls device settings.

  1. You tell Gemini what you need done.
  2. It works across your apps behind the scenes.
  3. The task gets done without you opening anything.

What you could do with it

  • A person dictating a messy voice memo could use Rambler to turn their spoken thoughts into clean, organized text in real time 1.
  • A person could ask Gemini to order food, hail a ride, or book a reservation across apps without opening each app themselves 1.
  • A person could type a plain-language description and create a custom home-screen widget pulling data from Gmail, Calendar, and Search with no coding needed 1.

An exampleInvented to explain it

Maya telling her phone to handle dinner plans

MayaFind an Italian place near me, book a table for two at seven, and have it ready for pickup.

GeminiFound Bella Cucina. Two seats at seven. Should I confirm?

MayaYes, and add garlic bread.

GeminiDone — garlic bread included, pickup at seven.

Maya got her reservation arranged without leaving her car.

New devices, same smarts

Gemini Intelligence started arriving on phones earlier this year, first on the Pixel 11 and Samsung Galaxy devices like the Z Fold8 Ultra, Z Fold8, Z Flip8, and S26 series 1. Today Google announced the program is growing again, reaching two more groups of devices .

Motorola is launching its first Gemini Intelligence phone, the motorola signature 27, which went up for pre-order in the United States on November 19 1. Meanwhile, Google pushed a "Pixel Drop" update that gives Gemini Intelligence features to the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold — phones that already had some Gemini capabilities but did not have all the newest ones .

Guess

Where outside the US can you now use Gemini to place orders?

What you can do differently now

Three main features are getting wider access:

Rambler turns spoken thoughts into clean, organized text in real time. If you dictate a messy note and want it turned into something readable right away, Rambler does that job 1. It is now available on the Pixel 10 lineup and the motorola signature 27 .

Task automation lets you ask Gemini to handle logistics across your favorite apps — ordering food, hailing a ride, booking a reservation — without opening each app yourself 1. This feature was previously limited and is now expanding to the UK, India, and Japan .

Create My Widget is a tool that will arrive over the next few weeks. You describe what you want in plain words, and Gemini builds a custom home-screen widget pulling data from Gmail, Calendar, and Search 1. Want a trip dashboard, a monthly spending tracker, or a countdown to race day? The tool creates it with no coding needed . It will also come to the Pixel Watch soon .

A fourth feature called Device Assistance helps you control or fix your phone by simply asking it — clear storage space, check which apps can see your location, or mute distractions while allowing important calls through 1. Gemini reads your device settings directly so you do not have to hunt through menus .

Beyond the phone

Gemini Intelligence is also branching past phones. Last month Google launched Googlebook, described as the first laptop designed around the AI system 1. On the phone side, Android Auto will soon show proactive, personalized suggestions when you are connected to your car — for instance, if a friend texts asking where you are meeting for a class, Gemini could find your confirmation email and let you tap once to send the address .

When to expect it

The motorola signature 27 is available for pre-order starting November 19 in the U.S. 1. Existing Pixel 10 users will get the updates through the latest Pixel Drop . Create My Widget arrives on phones and watches in the coming weeks .
