We are developing more seamless, intuitive ways to collaborate with AI

The mouse pointer has been a constant companion on computer screens, across every website, document and workflow. Despite how technologies have changed, the pointer has barely evolved in more than half a century.

We’ve been exploring new AI-powered capabilities to help the pointer not only understand what it’s pointing at, but also why it matters to the user.

Our goal is to address a common frustration: because a typical AI tool lives in its own window, users need to drag their world into it. We want the opposite: intuitive AI that meets users across all the tools they use, without interrupting their flow. For example, imagine pointing to an image of a building, and requesting “Show me directions”. Nothing more is needed when the AI system already understands the context.

Today, we’re outlining the underlying principles guiding our thinking on future user interfaces, and sharing experimental demos of an AI-enabled pointer, powered by Gemini. For example, you could visit Google AI Studio to edit an image or find places on the map, just by pointing and speaking.

This video showcases the experimental environment for our AI-enabled pointer. Sequences are shortened throughout.

Our interaction principles

We’ve developed four principles that together shift the hard work of conveying context and intent from the user to the computer, replacing text-heavy prompts with simpler, more intuitive interactions. Here are illustrations of our approach and principles.

Maintain the flow

AI capabilities should work across all apps, not force users into “AI detours” between them. Our prototype AI-enabled pointer is available wherever the user is working. For example, they could point at a PDF and request a bullet-point summary to paste directly into an email, hover over a table of statistics and request a pie chart version, or highlight a recipe and ask for all the ingredients doubled.

Show and tell

Current AI models demand precise instructions. To get a good response, a user has to write a detailed prompt. An AI-enabled pointer would streamline this process by smoothly capturing the visual and semantic context around the pointer, letting the computer “see” and understand what’s important to the user. In our experimental system, just point, and the AI knows exactly which word, paragraph, part of an image, or code block the user needs help with.

Embrace the power of "This" and "That"

In everyday interactions with each other, humans rarely speak in long, detailed paragraphs. We might say, "Fix this", "Move that here", or “What does this mean?” — while relying on physical gestures and our shared context to fill in any gaps in understanding. An AI system that understands this combination of context, pointing and speech would allow users to make complex requests in natural shorthand, no fiddly prompting required.

Turn pixels into actionable entities

For decades, computers have only tracked where we are pointing. AI can now also understand what the user is pointing at. This transforms pixels into structured entities, such as places, dates, and objects, that users can interact with instantly. A photo of a scribbled note becomes an interactive to-do list; a paused frame in a travel video becomes a booking link for that cool-looking restaurant.

Building technology that adapts to human behavior — rather than forcing users to adapt to it — enables a future where collaborating with AI feels truly intuitive, fluid and seamless.

We’re excited that these human-first concepts are being woven into products we use every day.

Applying this work in our products

We are now integrating these principles to reimagine pointing in Chrome and our new Googlebook laptop experience. Starting today, instead of writing a complex prompt, you can now use your pointer to ask Gemini in Chrome about the part of the webpage you care about. For example, you can select a few products on a page and ask to compare, or point to where you want to visualize a new couch in your living room. Similarly, we'll soon roll out Magic Pointer in Googlebook, allowing users to harness Gemini at their fingertips for a more intuitive experience. Because there are so many other potentially great applications, we'll continue to test future concepts across our platforms, including Google Labs’ Disco.

Automate multi-step tasks across your apps

As Android transitions from an operating system into an intelligence system, your devices are becoming even more helpful with upgrades that will save you time.

Today, we’re introducing Gemini Intelligence on Android, which brings the best of Gemini to our most advanced devices. It integrates premium hardware and innovative software to help you stay a step ahead by working proactively to get things done throughout your day — all while keeping your data private, and keeping you in control.

Gemini Intelligence features will roll out in waves starting with the latest Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones this summer, and will become available across your Android devices including your watch, car, glasses and laptops later this year.

Gemini Intelligence helps you automate tedious tasks so you can focus on what matters. We’ve spent months fine-tuning multi-step automation capabilities on the Galaxy S26 and Pixel 10 on popular food and rideshare apps to ensure every interaction feels seamless.

Soon, devices with Gemini Intelligence will do all that and more. Gemini will navigate tasks for you — whether it’s snagging a front-row bike for your spin class or finding your class syllabus in Gmail then putting the books you need in your cart. Gemini handles the logistics while you stay in the moment.

App automation is even more powerful when you add screen or image context. Instead of manually switching between apps and copying data, Gemini can turn visual context into instant action. Imagine you have a long grocery list on your notes app. Just long press the power button over the list and ask Gemini to build a shopping cart with all of the items for delivery.

Or, if you see a travel brochure in a hotel lobby that piques your interest, you can simply snap a photo of it and say: “Find a tour like this on Expedia for a group of six.” You can track the progress live via notifications as Gemini works in the background. Most importantly, you remain in control: Gemini only acts on your command and stops the moment the task is complete. All that's left for you is the final confirmation.

Browse smarter with Gemini in Chrome

Starting in late June, Android devices will be getting a smarter browsing assistant for the web: Gemini in Chrome can help you research, summarize and compare content across the web. Chrome auto browse can take care of more mundane tasks on your behalf, whether it’s appointment booking or reserving a parking spot.

Fill out forms in a single tap

Autofill with Google is evolving from a basic convenience into something more intelligent and intuitive. By using Gemini’s Personal Intelligence, Android will automatically fill in even more of those tiny text fields across your apps, including Chrome.

We’re tackling a universal hassle: filling out complex forms on a mobile screen. Because now, your device can use relevant information from your connected apps to fill forms out for you.

Connecting Gemini to Autofill with Google is strictly opt-in, meaning you choose if and when you want to connect to Gemini - and you can always turn this connection on or off in your settings.

Turn spoken thoughts into polished text

Gboard on Android already lets you convert speech to text quickly and accurately, but there’s a catch: the way we talk isn't always the way we want to write. We self correct, repeating ourselves or fill the gaps with "ums," "ahs" and "likes." To bridge that gap, we’re introducing Rambler, a new Gemini Intelligence feature designed for the way people actually speak.

With Rambler, you don't have to worry about getting your words exactly right before you start. You can speak naturally and it will take the important parts, then fit them all together into a concise message. Rambler will clearly show you when you’ve enabled it to help convert your voice to text and audio is only used to transcribe in real-time and is not stored or saved.

Rambler is built for the way our global community communicates — in multiple languages at once. Using Gemini's advanced multi-lingual model, Rambler can seamlessly switch between languages in a single message. Whether you're blending English with Hindi or any other combination, Rambler understands the context and the nuance, ensuring your message sounds exactly like you — only more polished.

Build custom widgets

With Gemini Intelligence, we’re taking the first step in generative UI with a hallmark of Android: widgets.

With Create My Widget, there are even more ways to make your device truly yours. You can build entirely custom widgets just by describing what you want using natural language. For example, if you're a meal prepper, just ask Create My Widget to "Suggest three high-protein meal prep recipes every week," and watch as it builds a custom dashboard you can add and resize right on your home screen. Or if you’re a cyclist who only cares about wind speed and rain, you can create a weather widget that surfaces those exact stats.

These are functional, intelligent tools backed by Gemini to work the way you want. Whether it's on your Gemini Intelligence-powered Android phone or your Wear OS watch, Create My Widget ensures that the information you care about most is front and center.

Focus with a UI designed with intelligence

Gemini Intelligence comes with an updated design language that builds upon Material 3 Expressive. This visual system is not only beautiful but also functional, animating with purpose to reduce distractions and allow you to focus on the task at hand.

From handling your digital busywork to building personalized interfaces, Gemini Intelligence is transforming the way you use your devices. We can't wait for you to try it.

Professionals are using Gemini in Chrome to accelerate their daily workflows—from summarizing complex reports to drafting client emails and analyzing market data.

Until now, repeating a high-value AI task meant re-entering the same prompt every time you navigated to a new page or document. To streamline your workday, we’re launching skills in Chrome for eligible Workspace users. This feature allows you to save your most effective prompts and run them instantly with a single click, no matter where you are on the web.

By turning your proven prompts into reusable skills, you can focus less on prompt engineering and more on high-impact work.

Today, we announced Workspace Intelligence, an underlying AI system that provides Gemini with a real-time understanding of your work across Google Workspace. With Workspace Intelligence, all of your generative AI tasks within Workspace will be grounded in your Workspace data across Gmail, Chat, Calendar, and Drive (including Docs, Sheets, and Slides), eliminating the need for users to manually provide context to Gemini on every query.

As an administrator, you can control which data sources Workspace Intelligence can use for your organization via new settings in the Admin console.

Impact of disabling data sources

If you turn off Workspace Intelligence for a data source, generative AI features will not actively search for content from the disabled source. However, if a user adds a specific source to their prompt, that source will be used in Gemini's response. For example, if you turn off Drive as a source, users can still ask Gemini about specific files. Gemini will consult these specific files, but it won't actively search for other files. We recommend keeping access to all data sources ON to ensure optimal performance of AI features across Workspace.

Strong privacy protections

These changes align to our existing data handling practices and privacy commitments. AI features respect user-level content access, ensuring that responses are grounded only in content that a user already has permission to view. Your data is never used to train generative AI models or for advertising purposes.

Getting started

• Admins: Workspace Intelligence is ON by default; admins can disable access to certain data sources at the domain, OU, or group level. Visit the Help Center to learn more about controlling Workspace Intelligence for generative AI features.

When we first introduced Gemini Embedding 2, we invited developers and enterprises to enable deeper intelligence for their projects using natively multimodal embeddings. During its preview phase, we saw users create remarkable prototypes, from advanced e-commerce discovery engines to efficient video analysis tools. These projects demonstrated the need for systems that can search and reason across text, image, video and audio data, which previously required complex, fragmented pipelines.

Now, we’re offering the stability and optimizations required to move these multimodal projects into production with the general availability of Gemini Embedding 2 via the Gemini API and Vertex AI.

As a core technology powering many Google products, we are excited to share these research breakthroughs with the developer community.
