Following the 2.5 Pro model update yesterday, Google is introducing “scheduled actions” to the Gemini app.
Scheduled actions let you “streamline routine tasks or receive personalized updates directly.” Just (conversationally) ask Gemini to “perform a task at a specific time,” day, date, or after an event. You can also “transform a prompt you’re already using into a recurring action” that you’re updated daily/weekly about. On mobile, you’ll get a push notification.
- “In your prompt, provide details about when and how often you want to schedule the action.”
- “If you schedule an action that’s related to your location, Gemini Apps will use the location where you created the action for all future responses.”
As of today, users “can have up to 10 active scheduled actions at a time.” In Settings & help on the web or profile picture > Settings on Android/iOS, there will be a new “Scheduled actions” page to see what you have set with the ability to delete or pause/resume.
Example use cases include:
- Daily summaries of your calendar, to-do list, and unread emails for the day ahead.
- Daily updates on the weather and outfit ideas based on a list of wardrobe items that you give Gemini.
- Weekly news updates or details about upcoming events for your favorite artist.
- Weekly rollups of new local cafes and restaurants to check out during the weekend.
- …get a creative boost by having Gemini write five ideas for your blog every Monday
- …schedule a one-off task like asking Gemini to give you a summary of an award show the day after it happens
Scheduled actions are rolling out starting today to Gemini app users with a Google AI Pro or AI Ultra subscription, as well as qualifying Google Workspace business and education plans. As of Friday morning, this is not yet appearing on mobile or desktop accounts we checked.
It remains to be seen whether this will eventually be available for free users, like Saved info and people image generation.
This new capability is billed as part of Google’s plan to make Gemini more personal, proactive and powerful: “Just tell Gemini what you need and when, and it will take care of the rest.”
