In folding its Intrinsic project into the main company and out of "Other Bets," Google is aiming to mimic its Android strategy for robots.

Google today released Android 17 Beta 2 for Pixel devices. This comes less than two weeks after the first release.

Google just showed how Android 17 could let Gemini handle tasks across your apps. New tools arriving on Galaxy S26 and Pixel 10 let AI find photos, order food, and book rides while you watch.

Following the Gemini automation announcement today, Google is detailing how all this works under the hood on Android.

Gemini on Android will be able to automate tasks involving rideshare requests, or grocery or food delivery, says Google.
