Gemini Intelligence brings gen UI, Gboard 'Rambler' to Android
Google today announced “Gemini Intelligence” as the overarching name for a new series of AI features on premium Android devices. Gemini Intelligence starts with a design language that builds upon Material 3 Expressive. It’s meant to subtly indicate when Gemini is listening, thinking, and working across these new features. This visual system is not only beautiful but also functional, animating with purpose to reduce distractions and allow you to focus on the task at hand. Gemini task automation rolled out in March to the Galaxy S26 and Pixel 10. Devices with Gemini Intelligence can take action in more apps, while Google says “automation is even more powerful when you add screen or image context.” Instead of manually switching between apps and copying data, Gemini can turn visual context into instant action. Imagine you have a long grocery list on your notes app. Just long press the power button over the list and ask Gemini to build a shopping cart with all of the items for delivery. Or, if you see a travel brochure in a hotel lobby that piques your interest, you can simply snap a photo of it and say: “Find a tour like this on Expedia for a group of six.” Google is introducing a more intelligent autofill in Android apps and Chrome that leverages Gemini’s Personal Intelligence. Supporting more forms and fields, it will appear in Gboard’s suggestion strip and be badged by a spark. Connecting Gemini to Autofill with Google requires an explicit opt-in.

It goes beyond word-for-word dictation and lets you transcribe naturally. It can distill the important parts of the message, like when you change your mind. For example, you’re dictating a shopping list with apples, bananas, and oranges, but then no longer want the first item. Just tell Gboard that you “no longer want apples,” and the final list will exclude it. Responses can be edited and polished in real time using Rambler, while Gemini’s multilingual support allows you to change languages in a single message. You’ll see the Gemini Intelligence design language leveraged here with a waveform that occupies the entire width of your keyboard. The final aspect of Gemini Intelligence is generative user interfaces, starting with widgets on both phones and Wear OS (Tiles). “C...

The Google I/O annual developer conference is around the corner—May 19—but in what is quickly becoming a tradition, Google announced new features for Android and Gemini a week early.The news came on Tuesday via the second-ever Android Show on YouTube. This livestreamed presentation helps Google spread out the cavalcade of updates from the often jam-packed I/O keynote.The Android Show focused on new features in Android 17, the next version of Android coming later this summer, as well as several updates to the Gemini assistant experience. It continues the theme set last year by Sameer Samat, president of the Android ecosystem, of turning Android into an “intelligent operating system.” Samat and his team aim to do this by adding a host of new AI-powered features to the mobile OS, including a generative AI widget-creation tool and an improved voice-to-text model that uses AI to cut those “ums” and “ahs” as you speak.What if you don't want AI baked into your phone? “A user always has control,” says Mindy Brooks, vice president of product management on the Gemini Intelligence experience. “They can turn it off, they can make a choice, and we are very clear about providing those tools for them to make the choices that work for them. We really wanted to focus on bringing features that are aligned with what users are saying they want and need.”Here's everything you need to know about what was announced during the 2026 Android Show.
