Gemini could soon help you fix your Pixel instead of searching Settings

Gemini could become the tech support your Pixel never had.

Google is reportedly conducting tests on a new “Device Help” feature integrated into Gemini, the advanced AI model powering Google’s latest offerings. This experimental feature aims to assist Pixel users in troubleshooting their devices by allowing them to describe issues using natural language, rather than sifting through the cumbersome Settings menu.

During testing, Gemini demonstrated an impressive ability to inspect relevant device settings prior to suggesting a potential solution, such as recommending Night Light mode when a user reported their screen displaying an overly yellow hue.

The feature was recently observed on a Pixel 9 operating on Android 17, signaling a significant advancement in making Gemini a built-in troubleshooting assistant for Pixel devices. Google’s overarching vision for Gemini has consistently extended beyond merely replacing the Google Assistant. Over time, the AI has evolved to exhibit increased awareness of individual devices and more advanced capabilities to aid users in completing various tasks.

This latest development suggests Google is actively exploring additional functionalities that could seamlessly integrate Gemini into the user experience, effectively transforming it into a more comprehensive device assistant.
