Google is steadily expanding Gemini’s role across your phone, with a clear push toward making it more context-aware and deeply integrated into your daily usage. Earlier this year, the company rolled out Personal Intelligence, a feature that taps into apps like Gmail, Photos, YouTube, and Search to deliver more relevant suggestions and tailored responses. Now, it looks like Google is working on taking things a step further with a new “Proactive Assistance” feature in Gemini that can surface helpful suggestions based on what you’re doing, even before you think to ask.
We spotted Proactive Assistance while digging through the Google app (version 17.18.22.sa.arm64), where we also managed to enable the feature. While not yet publicly available, the screenshots we managed to grab give us a clear idea of how Proactive Assistance will work once Google rolls it out.
