Summary
Google has announced a range of features coming to Android phones this year, including a new Gemini Intelligence AI system and a tool to help users avoid distracting apps. Gemini Intelligence will combine the company’s top AI tools into one system aimed at being more proactively useful. It will be able to automate tasks by directly interacting with the apps already on a phone. From late June, Chrome auto browse will bring similar automated powers to websites, including for booking tickets or finding parking spots.
