Expanded device support

Gemini Intelligence, Google's suite of AI features for Android, is rolling out to additional devices, according to a Google Gemini blog post. The Motorola signature 27 will be the first Motorola device to support the platform, with U.S. pre-orders opening on November 19. Meanwhile, the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold are receiving the latest Gemini Intelligence features through today's Pixel Drop.

These additions follow the earlier rollout that began this summer on devices such as the Pixel 11 and Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Z Fold8, Z Flip8, and S26 series. Google says the expansion is part of its effort to bring advanced AI capabilities to more of Android's high-end hardware.

New tools for everyday tasks

Two new features headline the update. Create My Widget, rolling out over the next few weeks, lets users describe a widget in plain language and have it generated automatically, pulling information from Gmail, Calendar, and Search. Examples include a trip dashboard, a spending tracker, or a countdown to a race day. No coding is required.

Device Assistance turns Gemini into a built-in troubleshooter. Users can ask their phone to free up storage, review which apps have location access, or silence distractions while allowing important calls through. Google describes it as a personal device expert that understands the phone deeply.

Rambler and task automation reach more regions

Rambler, the feature that converts spoken thoughts into organized text in real time, is now available on the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and the Motorola signature 27. Additionally, task automation, which lets Gemini handle logistics like ordering food, hailing rides, or booking reservations across apps, is expanding to the UK, India, and Japan.

Proactive help across screens

Google is also extending Gemini Intelligence beyond the phone. Last month it launched Googlebook, the first laptop designed for Gemini Intelligence. Soon, Pixel phones with Gemini Intelligence will bring proactive suggestions to Android Auto, connecting information across apps. For example, if a friend texts asking where to meet for a pilates class, Gemini can find the confirmation email and suggest sending the address with one tap. In the coming weeks, Create My Widget will also arrive on Pixel Watch, allowing users to design widgets for their wrist.

Why it matters

The updates show Google's push to make Gemini Intelligence a cross-device assistant that anticipates needs and simplifies device management. By adding support for more phones, a laptop, and a watch, Google aims to create a consistent AI experience across Android. The expansion to new markets for task automation also signals growing international availability. Users with eligible devices can expect these features through software updates and the Pixel Drop.
