Google was one of the few companies that jumped on the AI bandwagon early on, but the tech giant still seems to be playing catch-up with startups like OpenAI. Earlier this year, in January, the Sam Altman-led company introduced a new feature that enabled users to schedule tasks in ChatGPT to run automated prompts.
Now, in a blog post, Google has announced that it is bringing “Scheduled Actions” to Gemini. Announced at this year’s I/O, Google says the new functionality is “designed to proactively handle your tasks.” Similar to ChatGPT’s schedule tasks, Gemini users will now be able to streamline their routine tasks and even get personalised updates from the AI chatbot.
However, the scheduled actions feature is limited to users with a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscription and eligible Google Workspace business and education plans. Also, it is still unclear if Gemini, like ChatGPT, has limited scheduled action to ten active tasks and if they can pause or delete an old task if they hit the limit.
Google also said that Gemini will soon get an “upgraded preview” of Gemini 2.5 Pro. The new large language model builds on the company’s recently unveiled 2.5 Pro model, which is better than its predecessors in coding. The company is also making it easier for users to access Gemini Live. Instead of tapping on the dedicated Gemini Live action from the bottom of the screen, you can now simply swipe from the right side of the screen to the left to open Gemini Live.
