- Expanded Gemini Task Automation for Daily Chores
Gemini Intelligence now supports task automation across over 40 popular apps, expanding from a beta with limited app support. Users can delegate more 'life admin' tasks like shopping, making reservations, and booking travel, with direct access from the Galaxy Z Flip8's Flex Window and advanced reasoning for image-based prompts.
- Gemini Notebook Preinstalled for Project Synthesis
Gemini Notebook, formerly NotebookLM, is now preinstalled on Samsung's new foldables to assist with managing deep projects and synthesizing complex information. Users can drag and drop various media types into a workspace and use chat functions to query sources or generate custom resources like slide decks and videos.
- Gemini Integration with Watches and Glasses
Gemini is being made more accessible on the go with the Galaxy Watch 9, activating with a wrist raise without a wake word. Additionally, Gemini will be available on new intelligent eyewear launching this fall, with potential for control via hand gestures from a compatible Wear OS watch.
- Six-Month Trial of Google AI Pro Included
A six-month trial of Google AI Pro is being provided with every Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Fold8, and Flip8 device. This trial grants users access to advanced features such as Audio Overviews and Video Overviews.
