Unlock Seamless Productivity with Google Gemini’s New Scheduled Actions Feature

Google is redefining the landscape of AI productivity tools with an exciting new feature in the Gemini app: Scheduled Actions.

First unveiled at Google I/O, this powerful update is now rolling out to users on both Android and iOS platforms. With Scheduled Actions, Gemini can effortlessly automate repetitive tasks like reminders, summaries, and creative prompts—eliminating the need for users to repeat commands and transforming it into a more personalized, effective, and everyday AI assistant.

“As we shared at I/O, the Gemini app is evolving to become more personal, proactive, and powerful. Starting today, we’re introducing Scheduled Actions, a feature designed to manage your tasks proactively,” Google announced in a recent blog post.

Your Personal Assistant, Now on Autopilot

With the new Scheduled Actions feature, Gemini can autonomously manage everything from daily meeting summaries to weekly brainstorming sessions, ensuring tasks are completed right on schedule. Here are some examples of what you can set up:

  • “Provide me with a summary of today’s meeting every morning at 8 AM.”
  • “Share five innovative blog ideas with me every Monday.”
  • “Update me on my favorite sports team every weekend.”

Creating one-time or recurring actions is as simple as issuing a voice or text prompt. Once configured, Gemini will handle the task quietly in the background, even if you forget about it.

Managing your scheduled tasks is also a breeze. The Gemini app features a dedicated “Scheduled Actions” page within the settings, where you can easily view, modify, or cancel any existing tasks.

Competing with ChatGPT in Task Automation

This update positions Gemini directly in competition with ChatGPT, particularly in the realm of task automation and custom workflows—capabilities that ChatGPT users often achieve through external tools like Zapier. While ChatGPT has a limit of 10 tasks, Google has yet to announce whether Gemini will have any similar restrictions.

What distinguishes Gemini is its seamless integration with Google apps, enabling users to set up and manage tasks without relying on third-party services. This native approach not only simplifies task management but also offers a more cohesive experience for users embedded in the Google ecosystem.

Availability of Scheduled Actions

Scheduled Actions are now accessible to users with a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscription, along with qualifying Google Workspace business and education plans.

As AI technology continues to evolve, these innovative features from Gemini may significantly influence our productivity approaches. With Google’s commitment to developing smarter, more personalized AI solutions, we are just scratching the surface of what Gemini can truly offer.
