The Gemini Clock Tool Extension on Android will reportedly allow the AI chatbot to set alarms and timers.
According to a rumor, Gemini on Android may soon be capable of more jobs. The AI chatbot that was integrated into Android handsets is capable of carrying out many functions, including responding to inquiries, searching the internet for answers, and composing messages and essays. When it comes to device-integrated actions like sending a message, setting up an alarm, or checking reminders, the chatbot transfers control to Google Assistant. That might not last for long, though, since a source suggests that Gemini will soon have the ability to independently set timers and alarms.
It’s said that Gemini will get a clock tool extension.
Gemini for Android may receive a new Clock Tool extension, which would enable it to set timers and alarms in response to user input, according to a report by Android Authority. The new feature was discovered by the publication when disabling the app. The most recent Google app beta (15.27.33) included the feature.
The publication released a screenshot showing a Clock Tool extension in the list of Gemini extensions. It can be called upon either by name spoken out or by putting the request in after “@Clock Tool.” “Gemini is taking over from Google Assistant to handle some actions through Extensions,” the AI chatbot in the screenshot announces in response to this activity. The task is then completed using the Clock Tool.
Along with Google Maps, Workspace, YouTube, YouTube Music, Google Flights, and Google Hotels, the new extension will be available for Android users. The investigation also discovered a new feature that lets users utilize the AI chatbot even when their smartphone is locked. In addition to the previous report on this functionality, a screenshot of the setting has now surfaced.
Users will be able to utilize Gemini on the run and ask it a short inquiry or have a discussion thanks to the lock screen feature. The lock screen provides access to every feature of the extension. According to the research, Gemini might not be able to carry out operations that call for adding credentials or gaining access to confidential information. There is no word on when the feature might be available to the public.
