From PC Mag: Google is unwrapping some new AI features to go with the devices Samsung introduced at its Unpacked event in London, starting with one that was originally pitched as part of last month’s launch of Android 17.
Google’s announcement leads off with the news that Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Flip 8, Fold 8, and Fold 8 Ultra will get a much more full-fledged version of Gemini Intelligence, with the ability to execute multi-app workflows, than the limited version shipped with Android 17.
It will expand support "from a handful of apps to more than 40 popular apps," according to Google, which didn't name any apps in particular, though the PR rep name-checked Etsy and Expedia. Google says Pixel devices will see this update “later this summer.”
Etsy is highlighted in a GIF included in the announcement, showing a user invoking Gemini Intelligence after seeing a picture of a strawberry-adorned tote bag. The user types “Buy a bag like this on Etsy for under $30,” and Gemini Intelligence responds by opening the Etsy app to locate a matching bag and setting up the purchase for the user’s review.
