Google is prepping Gemini to take action inside of apps
Looks like Android is getting its own version of app intents.
It sounds awfully similar to the upgraded “app intents” Apple supports in iOS 18, and it’s exactly the kind of thing that could make AI assistants much more useful than they are in their current state. Gemini can access information in certain apps with your permission, but currently it’s mostly limited to searching things like Gmail and Google Maps. And Siri’s biggest update in iOS 18 so far added a ChatGPT extension so you can ask more complicated questions, but it still falls short on “taking action.” Now, both platforms appear to be laying the groundwork for better assistants — and 2025 could be a very interesting year for AI on smartphones.
