Google was one of the few companies that jumped on the AI bandwagon early on, but the tech giant still seems to be playing catch-up with startups like OpenAI. Earlier this year, in January, the Sam Altman-led company introduced a new feature that enabled users to schedule tasks in ChatGPT to run automated prompts.
Now, in a blog post, Google has announced that it is bringing “Scheduled Actions” to Gemini. Announced at this year’s I/O, Google says the new functionality is “designed to proactively handle your tasks.” Similar to ChatGPT’s schedule tasks, Gemini users will now be able to streamline their routine tasks and even get personalised updates from the AI chatbot.
The tech giant says users can now ask Gemini to do things like completing a task at a specified time, or changing the prompt you are already using for a recurring task. Moreover, Gemini can now show you a summary of your calendar, unread emails, and fetch information and give updates about your favourite sports team on the go.
