Google Gemini can now handle scheduled tasks like an assistant
Google is taking another step toward making Gemini a more helpful assistant. It's rolling out 'scheduled actions,' a feature AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers can use to ask the AI assistant to perform tasks at specific times, like providing a summary of their calendar at the end of each day or generating ideas for blog posts every Monday. Users can also have Gemini complete one-off tasks using this feature, such as asking for a summary of an award show the day after it happens, Google says. 'Just tell Gemini what you need and when, and it will take care of the rest,' the company writes in a post announcing the change. Gemini subscribers can manage planned tasks by heading to the 'scheduled actions' page in the Gemini app's settings. Android Authority first spotted an early version of the feature in April, which comes as Google aims to have its AI assistant perform more agent-like tasks.

Gemini now lets you schedule tasks ahead of time
Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Gemini now lets you automate routine tasks with its new scheduled actions feature. You can use it to schedule prompts to perform a task at a specific time, day, date, or after an event. The feature is available in the Gemini app for users with a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscription and qualifying Google Workspace business and education plans. Google has started rolling out Gemini's scheduled actions feature, which we spotted in a teardown earlier this year. As highlighted in the code strings, the feature allows users to automate routine tasks, similar to the scheduled tasks feature already available in ChatGPT. The scheduled actions feature will be available in the Gemini app starting today. Google says it will let users schedule prompts to perform tasks at a later date, time, or after an event. Users can utilize the feature to automate tasks like getting a summary of their calendar and unread emails every morning, generating five ideas for their blog every Monday, or staying updated on their favorite sports team. In addition to being useful for routine tasks, Gemini's scheduled actions will also come in handy for one-off tasks like getting a summary of an award show the day after it happens. Google adds that Gemini will allow users to transform prompts they're already using into recurring actions or manage existing actions within the new scheduled actions page in settings. Sadly, the scheduled actions feature isn't available for all Gemini users. It is limited to users with a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscription and qualifying Google Workspace business and education plans. Google may eventually make the feature available on Gemini's free tier, but there's no official confirmation yet. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .
