Google is expanding Gemini Intelligence to more Android smartphones, bringing its AI-powered features to the Pixel 10 series and the newly announced motorola signature 27. The expansion also introduces new capabilities, including custom AI-generated home screen widgets, personalized device assistance, and broader availability of task automation.
Announced on November 10, the update builds on Google’s efforts to make Gemini Intelligence more deeply integrated into Android, allowing users to automate everyday tasks, manage their devices through natural language, and access personalized information without manually switching between apps.
Gemini Intelligence arrives on more Android phones
The motorola signature 27 is Motorola‘s first smartphone to support Gemini Intelligence. The device is scheduled to become available for preorder in the US on November 19.
Google is also expanding Gemini Intelligence capabilities to the Pixel 10 lineup. With the latest Pixel Drop, the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold are getting access to the latest features. Google has also highlighted broader Rambler availability across the Pixel 10 family, including the Pixel 10 Pro.
Rambler is a Gboard feature that converts spoken thoughts into clean, organized text in real time. Instead of simply transcribing speech word for word, it helps turn natural spoken input into more readable text, making it useful for drafting messages, capturing ideas, and writing without typing.
Google is also expanding Gemini’s task automation capabilities to additional regions, including the UK, India, and Japan. The feature allows users to ask Gemini to handle everyday logistics, such as ordering food, booking reservations, and arranging rides through supported apps.
Create custom Android widgets using natural language
One of the more interesting additions is Create My Widget, a feature that lets users build personalized home screen widgets simply by describing what they want.
Rather than relying exclusively on the widgets provided by individual apps, users can explain the information they want to see, and Gemini Intelligence can create a widget around that request without requiring any coding.
For example, users could create a dashboard for an upcoming trip, a monthly spending tracker, or a countdown for an upcoming race. The feature can pull relevant information from Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Search to populate the personalized widget.
Create My Widget is rolling out over the next few weeks. Google also plans to bring the feature to Pixel Watch, allowing users to create personalized widgets that display useful information directly on their wrists.
Gemini becomes a personal device assistant
Google is also introducing Device Assistance, a capability designed to help users manage and troubleshoot their Android smartphones through conversational commands.
Instead of navigating through multiple settings menus, users can simply ask Gemini to perform certain device-related tasks. This includes freeing up storage space, checking which apps have access to location information, and muting distractions while allowing important calls to come through.
The idea is to make Android settings and device management easier to navigate, particularly for users who may not know exactly where a particular option is located.
Device Assistance is available on select Android devices running Android 17 or later. Its availability and capabilities will vary depending on the device, language, and country.
Gemini Intelligence is expanding beyond smartphones
Google’s longer-term vision extends beyond bringing AI features to individual Android devices. The company is working to make Gemini Intelligence more useful across different screens and connected experiences.
For example, Gemini Intelligence will soon bring proactive suggestions to Android Auto for supported Pixel phones. The feature will be able to connect information across apps and surface relevant suggestions while users are driving.
Google gives the example of a friend asking where to meet for a Pilates class. Gemini Intelligence could find the relevant confirmation email containing the location and suggest sharing the address through a single tap in Android Auto.
This approach could reduce the need to search through messages, emails, and other apps while on the road.
The expansion also follows Google’s introduction of Googlebook, its first laptop designed for Gemini Intelligence, highlighting how the company wants its AI capabilities to work across smartphones, wearables, and computers.
With Gemini Intelligence reaching more Android devices, Google is gradually moving beyond a standalone AI assistant toward a more integrated experience that can understand information across apps and help users complete everyday tasks. The addition of custom widgets and device-level assistance is particularly notable because it brings Gemini closer to the core Android experience rather than keeping its capabilities limited to a chat interface.
However, feature availability will depend on the device, region, and supported languages. Some Gemini Intelligence capabilities may also require a subscription for higher usage limits.
