Google Pixel 11 introduces ‘interactive onboarding companion’ for easier phone setup
Google hasn't shared details, but we've previously shown off a Gemini-powered setup assistant that sounds very similar.
Google unveiled the Pixel 11 series, unveiling a new "interactive onboarding companion" to streamline phone setup and customization. The company remained tight-lipped about the feature's specifics initially. However, the assistant bears striking resemblance to an unreleased Gemini-powered setup tool that was previously identified.
This tool provided real-time guidance and tailored suggestions during device setup. The Gemini-powered assistant included an "Ask Gemini" overlay, enabled instant execution of settings without navigating through separate apps, and offered personalized app suggestions. With the launch of the Pixel 11 series, Google has introduced the aforementioned "interactive onboarding companion" to aid users in configuring their new phones.
While the description is vague, it appears to be a near replica of the Gemini-powered setup assistant spotted last month.
