Overview
- Gemini’s screen automation is live as an English-only beta on Galaxy S26 devices in the U.S. and Korea, with support for Pixel 10 models planned next.
- The assistant can open and control partner apps to order food, book rides, or build grocery carts while running in a background virtual window visible in real time.
- Launch integrations include Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Grubhub, Uber Eats, and Starbucks, with grocery ordering via Kroger and Walmart, and Instacart listed as coming soon.
- Users can stop a task or take control at any moment, and the flow pauses before checkout so the user must review details and confirm the purchase.
- Google says screenshots from automated sessions may be reviewed to improve the experience unless users opt out, and early hands-on tests noted at least one fullscreen lock bug.
