Google's Gemini now supports scheduled actions
Google's Gemini has today received support for scheduled actions. These work in the Gemini app, and allow you to "streamline routine tasks or receive personalized updates" directly from Gemini, Google says. You can ask it to perform a specific task at a specific time, or transform a prompt into a recurring action. There's a new Scheduled Actions page within Settings where you can manage these anytime. Google says you can wake up with a summary of your calendar and unread emails, or have Gemini write five ideas for your blog every Monday, or get updates on your favorite sports team, or ask Gemini to give you a summary of an award show the day it happens, but of course there are unlimited other uses beyond these examples. Do note that there is a caveat here, namely that scheduled actions are only available to those who subscribe to Google AI Pro or Ultra, as well as "qualifying Google Workspace business and education plans".
