Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is upgrading its AI assistant, Gemini, with an innovative feature called ‘Scheduled Actions’, designed to maximize digital productivity and offer personalized experiences.

Understanding Scheduled Actions

‘Scheduled Actions’ enable Gemini users to automate routine tasks and proactively manage daily activities. This feature allows users to create custom prompts—whether for daily reminders, blog ideas, or email digests—that Gemini executes at designated times, no repeated input required.

Imagine starting your day with:

• A tailored summary of unread emails and calendar events

• Real-time sports updates for your favorite team

• Weekly blog post suggestions delivered every Monday

• A recap of award ceremonies or major happenings the next day

Accessibility of Scheduled Actions

Currently, Scheduled Actions are available to:

• Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers

• Users on Google Workspace Business and Education plans

Users can manage their scheduled activities via a dedicated Scheduled Actions page found in the app settings.

Google Reinforces AI-Driven Personalization

This release signifies Google’s deeper commitment to proactive AI, assimilating more characteristics of a digital assistant and digital coworker. While Gemini already offers instantaneous support, this update elevates its role to anticipatory action, improving user experience across productivity, content creation, and scheduling.

As the competition in AI heats up, Gemini’s Scheduled Actions demonstrate Google’s effort to compete closely with OpenAI, Microsoft Copilot, and Amazon Q.
