Google debuts Gemini Intelligence automation features, Googlebook laptop series
Google LLC is upgrading its consumer device portfolio with a set of Android features called Gemini Intelligence and a new laptop series.
The company debuted the products today during a virtual event called The Android Show. It also introduced new mobile security capabilities designed to protect users from malicious apps, device theft and attempts to compromise their bank accounts.
Gemini Intelligence can perform multi-step tasks in Android apps based on natural language instructions. A consumer could, for example, take a photo of a travel brochure and ask the software to book the trip the document describes. A concertgoer can instruct it to reserve a parking spot near the venue where a performance will take place.
Some of Gemini Intelligence’s features are designed to work in the mobile version of Chrome. According to Google, the software speeds up online research tasks such as comparing e-commerce listings. Additionally, an upgraded autofill feature can fill forms using information that consumers keep in Google services such as Gmail.
