According to industry reports, Gemini Intelligence could be "commercialised for the first time" through Samsung's summer hardware launch. Samsung historically unveils its new foldable devices in July, whereas Google typically schedules its "Made by Google" event in August.

Google Gemini System-Wide AI Features

Key features include multi-app automation, where the AI can retrieve information from Gmail to book appointments or add products to shopping carts. While the system can perform these actions in the background, final confirmations still require user approval. Additionally, an improved "Intelligent Autofill" will use connected app data to complete complex forms, though this remains an optional setting.
