Gemini AI is gradually heading into the agentic era and soon it could work on our smartphones. AI agents are taking over the browsers and soon they will let you automate basic tasks on the computer and even smartphones are part of that strategy.
Google has already started work on making Gemini more capable and these features have been mentioned in a report by Android Authority who have spotted them in an upcoming Google app for Android users.
AI Agent For Gemini On Phones: Gamechanger?
Gemini was always going to move beyond the Live version and AI agent became the prime avenue for Google to attract more users to its AI model across devices. AI browsers have given us a teaser of how the AI agents can operate tasks, even add items to the shopping cart and make the payment.
All these abilities on a handheld device like smartphone becomes inevitable and Google’s behind-the-scenes work suggests that could soon be a reality.
The Gemini app version with the new UI has the string, “Agent controls phone to complete tasks,” which confirms those changes and we are eager to see how Google makes all of this work and which devices can actually support it.
It is obvious that Pixel phones (from the last few years) will get the agent AI version of Gemini working but we might have to wait until the Google I/O 2026 to see any possible traits of this model advancing at a rapid pace.
Besides this, Gemini app now offers a new ‘Answer Now’ mode which as the name suggests is there to help users with quicker responses for their queries. The new option is built into the mobile app and available for both free and paid versions of Gemini on Android and iOS devices.
Google says the new answer option will work in the Gemini mobile app when the users select the Thinking or Pro versions of the AI model. Usually the advanced models take a longer time to give you the accurate response but the new feature fast-forwards the whole process and gives you the answer right away.
