Overview
- Reporters on Tuesday enabled hidden screens in the Google app beta to reveal a Proactive Assistance feature and a renamed Daily brief feed.
- Proactive Assistance can read what is on your screen, your notifications, and data from apps like Gmail, Calendar, Messages, Contacts, Docs, Drive, and Keep to offer timely suggestions before you ask.
- Strings inside the app say allowed data is processed on the device in a private encrypted space with no use for AI model training or human review.
- Daily brief appears to group surfaced info into sections such as Active Goals and Top of Mind that pull from email and recent Google searches.
- The features remain unannounced and in development, and some outlets expect a reveal at Google I/O 2026 that Google has not confirmed.
