Gemini Task Automation Hands-On: Pixel 10 and Galaxy S26 Let Gemini Control Apps for You

The Verge·medium signal

The Verge tested Gemini's new task automation feature — now rolling out to Pixel 10 series as part of the March 2026 Feature Drop after debuting on Galaxy S26. Gemini runs a secure virtual window to control Uber, DoorDash, Lyft, Grubhub, and Starbucks, adding cart items and handing back control before checkout. The reviewer called it 'slow, clunky, and super impressive' — the first real on-device agentic loop that works across third-party apps on Android.
