Google used the Android Show 2026 to draw a clear line between what Android was and what it is becoming. As Android transitions from an operating system into an intelligence system, your devices are becoming even more helpful with upgrades that will save you time. The umbrella name for all of it is Gemini Intelligence — and the features announced on May 12 are the most significant Android upgrade in years.

Gemini Intelligence features will roll out in waves starting with the latest Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones this summer, and will become available across Android devices, including your watch, car, glasses, and laptops later this year.


Everything New in Gemini Intelligence

1. Multi-Step App Automation

Gemini Intelligence helps you automate tedious tasks so you can focus on what matters. Gemini will navigate tasks for you — whether it is snagging a front-row bike for your spin class or finding your class syllabus in Gmail then putting the books you need in your cart. Gemini handles the logistics while you stay in the moment.

App automation is even more powerful when you add screen or image context. If you see a travel brochure in a hotel lobby that piques your interest, you can snap a photo of it and say: “Find a tour like this on Expedia for a group of six.” You can track the progress live via notifications as Gemini works in the background.

Crucially, Gemini only acts on your command and stops the moment the task is complete. All that is left for you is the final confirmation.

2. Gemini in Chrome

Starting in late June, Android devices will get a smarter browsing assistant: Gemini in Chrome can help you research, summarise, and compare content across the web. Chrome auto browse can take care of more mundane tasks on your behalf, whether it is appointment booking or reserving a parking spot.

3. Intelligent Autofill

Autofill with Google is evolving from a basic convenience into something more intelligent and intuitive. By using Gemini’s Personal Intelligence, Android will automatically fill in even more text fields across your apps, including Chrome — using relevant information from your connected apps to fill complex mobile forms out for you. Connecting Gemini to Autofill is strictly opt-in, and can always be turned off in settings.

4. Rambler — Speak Naturally, Send Polished Text

This is the feature Indian users specifically will love. Rambler lets you speak naturally and it will take the important parts, then fit them all together into a concise message. Using Gemini’s advanced multilingual model, Rambler can seamlessly switch between languages in a single message. Whether you are blending English with Hindi or any other combination, Rambler understands the context and the nuance, ensuring your message sounds exactly like you — only more polished. Audio is only used to transcribe in real time and is not stored or saved.

5. Create My Widget

With Create My Widget, you can build entirely custom widgets just by describing what you want using natural language. If you are a cyclist who only cares about wind speed and rain, you can create a weather widget that surfaces exactly those stats. Whether on your Gemini Intelligence-powered Android phone or your Wear OS watch, Create My Widget ensures that the information you care about most is front and centre.

When Is It Coming to India?

Gemini Intelligence launches first on the latest Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones this summer, with a broader rollout across Android devices — including watches, cars, glasses, and laptops — later in 2026.

India is one of Android’s largest markets globally, and with Rambler’s specific Hindi-English code-switching support, Google has clearly built these features with Indian users in mind from day one. Samsung Galaxy S26 and Pixel 10 owners in India should expect the first wave of features by August or September 2026.

This announcement also pairs directly with the Googlebook launch and the Fitbit Air — part of Google’s most cohesive hardware-software ecosystem push since the original Pixel launch.


The Bottom Line

From handling your digital busywork to building personalised interfaces, Gemini Intelligence is transforming the way you use your devices. The shift from OS to intelligence system is not a marketing tagline — Rambler, multi-step automation, and intelligent autofill are features that change daily phone use in a tangible, immediate way. For Android users in India, the summer 2026 rollout cannot come fast enough.
