Pixel 11 debuts Gboard Rambler, location-aware At a Glance, and more Gemini Intelligence
Gemini Intelligence is a key aspect of Google’s new phones and many new features, as well as expansions, are debuting on the Pixel 11 series.
Task automation on the Pixel 11 series works in over 40 apps to let you offload orders and bookings.
Gboard Rambler goes beyond literal speech-to-text by filtering run-on sentences and filler words, like “umm” or “ah.” It captures your intent for a clean voice transcription in a short amount of time. When active, Rambler takes over Gboard’s suggestion strip with a new waveform animation.
You have to tap the checkmark once you’re done talking, with no live preview given the prompt-based nature where you issue commands. To add to or edit the previous output, tap the microphone icon (which is now badged with a spark) again. You can ask Google to change the style, expand, and even add emoji.
Google provides the option in Gboard settings to use the previous speech-to-text system.
Magic Cue is now called Proactive Assistance. These proactive and contextual suggestions work in more scenarios and with a richer interface. When you tap these chips, a new bottom sheet slides up. For example:
A more subtle integration is checking a Google Maps listing and then immediately opening a ride sharing app. When you tap the destination text field, Gboard will offer the address as a one-tap suggestion without you having to manually copy it from Maps.
Gemini Intelligence will offer to handle complex tasks like restaurant booking and product/location comparisons. Additionally, if you click on an event in an app, Gemini will suggest you save it to your schedule.
On the privacy front, Gemini Intelligence is designed to require explicit user control, protect data with Private AI Compute, and provide clear status updates.
Google is previewing a new At a Glance capability that uses your location to surface loyalty cards at stores and Google Maps listings when you’re at restaurants.
