Gemini's New Trick: Timed Tasks for Busy People

Gemini, a popular app by Google, has just added a new feature called "scheduled actions. " This update, rolling out to AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers, lets users set tasks to happen at specific times. It's all about making life easier by automating routine jobs or getting personalized updates. This feature lets users ask Gemini to do something at a set time, day, or even after a certain event. For example, you can have Gemini send you a summary of your calendar and unread emails every morning. Or, if you're into blogging, you can get five new ideas from Gemini every Monday. Sports fans can stay updated on their favorite teams. And if you missed an award show, Gemini can give you a summary the next day. To manage all these scheduled tasks, there's a new settings page. This is where users can see and adjust all their scheduled actions. It's a handy way to keep track of what Gemini is doing for you. So, how does this fit into Google's plans? Well, Google wants Gemini to be more personal, proactive, and powerful. With scheduled actions, users can tell Gemini what they need and when they need it. Then, Gemini takes care of the rest. It's like having a personal assistant that's always ready to help. But here's a question to think about: Will this feature be available to free users in the future? Only time will tell. For now, it's a perk for those with AI Pro or AI Ultra subscriptions, as well as some Google Workspace plans.
