In the race to establish themself as the leading light in consumer-focused artificial intelligence, every edge is a slight advantage to Google. Tucked away in the latest Android builds is Gemini Space, which is one such small advantage.
Discovering Gemini Space
Mishaal Rahmen uncovered details on the new experience during a deep dive into recent builds of Android.
It looks to build on the Android integration of Gemini AI into the At A Glance tools available to Pixel owners. Currently, At A Glance is available through the widely available Google app. The second is through the Pixel-exclusive At A Glance widget. The widget uses GeminiAI to surface contextual information across several services, including weather reports, travel updates, and event reminders.
Rahmen suggests that Google will add more features that will support a rebrand to Gemini Space. These include pulling data from financial sources and a user's favorite sports teams. Gemini Space pops up in the code that links these services into the Google App and the At A Glance widget.
The Impact Of Gemini Space
One of the interesting decisions here may be Google's increased use of Gemini in the package and presumably in the marketing. Many see artificial intelligence as the new battleground not just for a few more sales, but as a disruptive element on the level of the web browser, the search engine, and the mobile operating system. Whoever has the upper hand, who can define AI and shape public opinion, will be best placed to capitalise on that.
Google is part of that race (alongside companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity. The Gemini brand is highlighted as often as possible in the current marketing. Renaming At A Glance to Gemini Space unifies the experience on the Pixel handset, but also allows another mention of Gemini while illustrating what AI can achieve on a handset.
Gemini's Ability To Win The Space
With Apple falling behind in on-device artificial intelligence, at least in the way that Google is working hard to define the space, the upcoming launch of the Pixel 10 family, and the new Gemini labelled AI that will accompany it, should stretch Gogole's lead in the mobile race to be seen as the one true way to AI on mobile.
