Gemini task automation expands to 40+ apps, more

Key Points:

• Google announced Gemini updates for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Fold 8, and Flip 8 at Galaxy Unpacked, enhancing the native migration experience to wirelessly transfer more data types from iPhones, including Google Account info, passwords, Wi-Fi credentials, and eSIM.
• Gemini task automation has expanded from supporting six rideshare and delivery apps to over 40 apps across shopping, restaurant reservations, travel booking, and event tickets, with Flip 8 users able to access this via the Flex Window by long-pressing the power button.
• The Gemini app now features advanced reasoning to interpret screen content and complex images as prompts, enabling users to easily show shopping lists or inspiration photos for assistance.
• Gemini Notebook, pre-installed on Samsung’s new foldables, allows users to drag and drop photos, documents, whiteboard images, and voice recordings into a side-by-side workspace on the Fold 8’s larger display.
• The new Galaxy devices come with six months of Google AI Pro, and Gemini on the Galaxy Watch 9 supports wrist-raise activation without a hotword, similar to the Pixel Watch 4.
