Google Gemini Rolls Out AI-Powered Automation for Routine Tasks: Here's How It Works

Google Gemini Rolls Out AI-Powered Automation for Routine Tasks: With the introduction of "Scheduled Actions," Google Gemini allows users to automate AI-powered work to run at specified times or on repeated schedules. Available to Gemini Pro, Ultra or select Workspace users, users can receive daily summaries of directions and tasks to accomplish, ideas for content that is tailored to them, and tips for suggesting what to do next through push notifications. The feature enhances the AI developers and software capacities, and makes it more not only time-efficient, but makes the AI more truly useful.

Google Gemini's great AI assistant is ready to allow for even more helpfulness into your daily routines. Gemini is now able to automatically do things for you at certain times or intervals. This capability is made possible via a new feature called Scheduled Actions that makes the AI Assistant much more proactive and responsive. Follow along for a brief and comprehensive overview of Scheduled Actions, who can use it, and what it does.

Google Gemini's Scheduled Actions allows users to schedule AI-driven tasks to be automatically done at specified times or on specified re-occurring intervals of time. Users can now schedule a task once and the AI will do the task without having to prompt or ask Gemini to do it for the user.

What Can You Do with Scheduled Actions?

Scheduled Actions can automate many types of actions, including:

Content ideas: This is not just a feature that can fix timing issues but to get timely tips and ideas like blog post ideas, every Monday.

Essentially, you just say what you want done and when to Gemini--and Gemini does the rest.

How Does Scheduled Actions function?

This is how you would use the Scheduled Actions capability in Gemini:

1. Set Up a Task

• You let Gemini know what you want automated-say, "Summarize my unread emails every morning at 8 am."
• Say it's a one-time or recurring task.

2. Choose the Trigger

• You can choose for the task to run at a specific time, on a specific date, or simply after the trigger has happened and use the echo function.

3. Manage Your Actions

• You can schedule up to 10 active tasks at one time.
• All of your scheduled actions, can be viewed, paused, and deleted from Gemini's new "Scheduled Actions" tab in the Settings (available on both mobile and desktop).
• If the action you are scheduling will be location dependent, Gemini will take the location in which you create the action as the location to use every time you want the same action, so that you can get consistent results.

4. Get Notified

• Gemini will push you the results as notifications on your mobile device, so you don't need to open the app every time.

Why is This Important?

The reason why Scheduled Actions are important is because it shows the increase that Google is making to ensure that Gemini isn't just a talking tool, but rather a truly helpful AI assistant that takes ownership of your tasks and actions before they happen. Other AI assistants like ChatGPT, even just started rolling out its competitive automatic reminder feature just recently, giving a very clear and direct correlation to Gemini's own scheduled actions.

Scheduled Actions is a ground breaking new feature from Google that empowers you to automate your repetitive tasks. It is designed to help you stay organized, save time and actually use your digital assistant. If you have a Gemini Pro, Ultra or certain Workplace account you should start taking advantage of Scheduled Actions today to have a more intuitive, proactive AI assistant.
