Google has officially introduced a new feature called Scheduled Actions in its Gemini mobile app. Rolled out to subscribers of Gemini AI Pro and Ultra, as well as applicable Google Workspace business and education users, this update brings a whole new level of automation to daily tasks (androidcentral.com).
What are Scheduled Actions?
With this feature, you can ask Gemini to automate tasks at specific times or on a recurring schedule. For instance:
-
Get a daily briefing with your unread Gmail and calendar appointments.
-
Receive sports updates for your favorite team.
-
Have Gemini draft five blog ideas every Monday to jumpstart your creativity.
-
Create one-time tasks, like summarizing an event the next day (phonearena.com, blog.google).
How It Works
-
Open your Gemini app and issue a prompt like, “Summarize my calendar every evening at 7 PM.”
-
Gemini will ask to confirm your desired time and frequency.
-
All your scheduled actions appear in a new “Scheduled Actions” section within the app's settings. From there, you can edit, delete, or pause them anytime (blog.google).
Why This Matters
-
This feature turns Gemini from a reactive chatbot into a proactive digital assistant, anticipating and acting on your needs (phonearena.com).
-
It puts Gemini on par with tools like ChatGPT Tasks, but with deeper integration into Gmail, Calendar, and Google Docs—eliminating the need for external workarounds (tomsguide.com).
-
The rollout is available on both Android and iOS, so cross-platform users are covered .
Availability & Requirements
-
Currently limited to users with a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscription.
-
Also available for eligible Google Workspace business or education accounts (androidcentral.com).
-
Not yet visible to all users—availability is gradually expanding .
TL;DR
Google’s Gemini app now lets you create Scheduled Actions—automated, recurring or one-time routines like daily summaries, email digests, blog prompts, and sports updates. Accessible through a brand-new settings page, this feature enhances productivity and reduces repetitive manual prompts. For now, it's limited to Pro/Ultra subscribers and qualifying Workspace users on mobile platforms.
