Read on to learn how to use Gemini – and what it can do for you. 

“Effortlessly manage everything from your day-to-day to your upcoming journeys with Gemini.”
Let Gemini handle the busywork

Sometimes you just need a hand to get through your routine. Using a beta feature in the Gemini app available in the next few days, you can offload repetitive tasks in many of your favorite apps to Gemini.3 4

Ordering a ride to dinner used to mean opening your rideshare app, typing in the destination, and selecting your ride type. Now you can just ask Gemini to “Book a ride to Luigi’s Trattoria,” and it can handle those steps for you, letting you skip straight to the final confirmation.

It works for ordering in, too. If you want to get your go-to Friday night pizza, simply ask Order with Gemini to “Reorder my usual pizza.” It can place an order based on your history in your favorite food delivery app, and save you the hassle.

Tame your inbox and calendar

Gemini smoothly dovetails with Gmail and Calendar to help simplify your day-to-day admin.

To quickly get up to speed on a long Gmail thread, let Gemini summarize it for you. You can ask it to find specific information, such as the due date for your client presentation. If you need to reschedule, Gemini can update your calendar with the new date, text the change to your colleagues, then check whether the design team has sent an email confirming they’ll be ready. After your presentation, ask Gemini to help with a follow-up email thanking the client for their time. Gemini can even help check and adjust the tone and clarity of your message by rephrasing text to make it sound more professional, friendly, or concise.
Activate your personal concierge

Gemini also works across messaging apps and Maps, making for smooth communication and simplified navigation.

Kick off your family trip to Ireland by creating a map of your itinerary, and share it with everyone on your “Big Family Trip” group text. As you research restaurants and their reviews on Maps, ask Gemini to help you understand details about vibes and menus, and what locals love about the food and drink. To help you all stay connected while you’re out and about, Gemini can work with you to compose a text to the group chat that summarizes your trip itinerary, and help you navigate to the meetup point.

Organize your life effortlessly

To help you stay organized, Gemini works hand in hand with your task-management and note-taking apps. 

Create an event for your best friend’s birthday, and start a to-do list that includes sending invitations, finding a fun team activity, and baking her favorite cookies. When you find the perfect recipe, ask Gemini to start a shopping list in Google Keep. As you decorate book-shaped cookies for your bookworm bestie, pull up Gemini as you

Snap a photo of a flyer for an upcoming glow-in-the-dark pickleball game, and ask Gemini to add that to the birthday event in your calendar, including location details. Once your reservation is confirmed, ask Gemini to update the invite so that all the celebration information is in one place.
Gemini also connects with Pixel Screenshots, so you can instantly find info about the cool sneakers you snapped a pic of on the subway without scrolling through hundreds of photos of your sleeping dog. Just tell Gemini what you’re looking for, and it will connect you to Pixel Screenshots so you can find out more about those hot pink high-tops – like where you might be able to buy some of your own.
When it comes to music, Gemini is your collaborative DJ. Ask it to curate a chill – but not sleepy – playlist you can do your taxes to on YouTube Music or Spotify.5 And when you’re done, ask for some celebratory dance music.
