Summary

Google announced new Gemini Intelligence features for Android on November 10, 2026, alongside expanded support for Pixel and Motorola devices. The update includes tools for creating custom widgets and getting help with phone settings, while Gemini task automation is expanding to India, the UK and Japan.
Google uses Gemini Intelligence to describe capabilities that bring Gemini into Android devices and related screens. The announcement combines features that are available now with others rolling out over the coming weeks or planned for later.
Widgets and help with phone tasks
Create My Widget lets people describe a widget in everyday language rather than build one with code. Google says it can draw on information from Gmail, Calendar and Search to create widgets such as a trip dashboard, spending tracker or countdown. The feature is rolling out over the next few weeks, and Google says it will also come to Pixel Watch in the next few weeks.
Device Assistance is designed to respond to requests about controlling, changing or fixing a phone. Google’s examples include clearing space, checking which apps can access location and muting distractions while allowing important calls through. The feature is available on select Android devices running Android 17 or later; availability and capabilities can vary by device, language and country.
Google is also expanding task automation through the Gemini app to India, the UK and Japan. The feature can handle requests involving tasks such as ordering food, hailing a ride or booking a reservation across apps. Google’s availability notes say it is for users aged 18 and older in select countries and languages, with some higher usage potentially requiring a subscription.
More devices and screens
Google says Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL and Pixel 10 Pro Fold are receiving the latest Gemini Intelligence features. Motorola’s motorola signature 27 is its first device with Gemini Intelligence; Google says it will be available for pre-order in the United States on November 19.
One expanded capability is Rambler, which turns speech into organized text in real time. Google says it is available on the named Pixel 10 models and the motorola signature 27. Its footnotes note that availability depends on country and language, and that usage limits may apply.
Google also described upcoming cross-screen assistance. For Pixel phones with Gemini Intelligence, proactive suggestions are planned for Android Auto. In Google’s example, Gemini could use a meeting detail in a confirmation email to suggest sharing an address after a friend asks where to meet. The feature requires the Gemini app and setup, and is limited to select countries and languages. Googlebook, described by the company as its first laptop designed for Gemini Intelligence, was launched the previous month.
The expansion brings several types of assistance—custom information displays, device help and actions across apps—to more parts of Google’s device ecosystem. Availability remains tied to supported devices and regional, language and user eligibility rules, so access will differ by feature.
