Google’s Gemini app on the Pixel 9 series of smartphones has been updated with two extensions that are designed to make the company’s apps easier to use. Google Keep and Tasks extensions are now available to Google Workspace users, via the Gemini app. While the features are now active on the latest Pixel smartphones, it is not known when the tech giant might expand it to older Pixel models and other Android smartphones. The company recently released AI agent Gems and the image generation model Imagen 3 to select Gemini users.
The company published support pages about these two extensions and how users can utilise them. However, these features are not available for users of the free version of Gemini app. A Google Workspace account will be required to see the extension and access them as well as a Google Pixel 9 series smartphone.
Once a user has signed into the Gemini app with the same account as their Workspace account, they can open the app and head to account menu. There, they can scroll to the Extensions page and find Google Keep and Google Tasks. Once the extension is activated, users can go to Gemini’s text field and type ‘@’ followed by the extension’s name to use its features.
Google Keep extension on the Gemini app can create notes and lists. Users can prompt it to create a note or list by providing a name for it. It can also create notes based on the conversation a user has with Gemini. Further, the extension can also be used to recommend activities for an event, outline a topic, or write multiple steps for a goal or task.
However, Gemini cannot modify a note, delete notes or lists, share notes and lists, view images and drawings, or add an image as a note.
Coming to the Google Tasks extension, it can add reminders and tasks by specifying the date, time, and task to Gemini in a text prompt. Reminders can also be added based on conversations with the AI. For instance, a user can ask Gemini about the release date of a movie, and then ask it to set a reminder two days before the release to book tickets for it.
Notably, the extensions are only available in English and on a limited number of devices. Google said the feature will be released to more devices and languages soon.
