Gemini’s task automation is here and it’s wild

Google and Samsung have launched Gemini's task automation feature in beta, allowing AI to perform real-world tasks like ordering food and rideshares through apps. The feature operates in a virtual window on newer devices like the S26 Ultra, responding to simple user prompts. This represents a significant step toward the long-promised vision of AI assistants handling practical daily tasks autonomously.
