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.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT offers a similar feature to subscribers that allows the AI chatbot to send you reminders or perform recurring actions.
