Google se prepara para integrar Gemini em aplicativos AndroidEverything about Android see more Everything about Google see more Everything about Artificial Intelligence see more Google is preparing a deep integration of its Gemini artificial intelligence into Android, a new feature that promises to make the use of the operating system even easier. An API found in the test version of Android 16 aimed at developers reveals that Gemini will be able to work between applications, expanding its capabilities and functions.

The feature, called “application services”, is described on Google's development community page as “a specific part of the functionality that an application offers to the system”, with the possibility of integration with various features of the operating system. Although the description is still a little vague, a practical example found on the Android Authority website helps you better understand the power of this new feature.

A simple example would be ordering food: instead of opening a specific application for this, Gemini will understand what the user wants and make a direct request, choosing the appropriate application for the task.
