Gemini app rolling out Scheduled Actions on Android 

Following the announcement in early June, Google is more widely rolling out Scheduled Actions to the Gemini app on Android.

Scheduled Actions let you run a prompt at a specific time, day, date, or after an event. To create, just “provide details about when and how often you want to schedule the action” in the command.

Gemini will confirm the Scheduled Action and automatically enable it. The inline card shows a “Pause” button.

To manage in the future and see everything you’ve created, tap your avatar in the top-right corner for the profile menu. There’s a new “Scheduled actions” item between “Apps” and “Gem manager.”

This page lists all your actions and when it’s scheduled, with the “Pause” button and “Delete” behind the overflow menu. 

You can “have up to 10 active scheduled actions at a time.” Scheduled Actions with location will “use the location where you created the action for all future responses.”

Example use cases include: 

  • Daily summaries of your calendar, to-do list, and unread emails for the day ahead.
  • Daily updates on the weather and outfit ideas based on a list of wardrobe items that you give Gemini.
  • Weekly news updates or details about upcoming events for your favorite artist.
  • Weekly rollups of new local cafes and restaurants to check out during the weekend.
  • …get a creative boost by having Gemini write five ideas for your blog every Monday
  • …schedule a one-off task like asking Gemini to give you a summary of an award show the day after it happens

As of today, we’re seeing Gemini’s Scheduled Actions more widely rolled out on Android for AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers. Force stop from App info (version 16.23 beta). We’re not seeing it in the iOS app or gemini.google.com.
