Gemini’s task automation is here and it’s wild
TL;DR
Google and Samsung have launched Gemini task automation in beta, starting with the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Key Points
- Gemini can operate apps like food delivery and rideshare services autonomously inside a virtual window, no manual tapping required.
- Triggers are simple natural-language prompts – 'order me dinner' or 'get me a ride to the airport'.
- The feature just rolled out via update and reviewers describe watching the phone operate itself as genuinely uncanny.
Nauti's Take
This is the moment AI enthusiasts have been waiting for since the first Siri hype – and it's genuinely a little eerie. A phone that operates itself is no longer sci-fi.
That said, 'beta' means rough edges, and starting with food delivery is a deliberately low-stakes choice. The real test comes when Gemini starts handling bank transfers or contract sign-ups.
For now: fascinating, but the true stress test hasn't arrived yet.
