Hey Google, make my phone be quiet.

PSA: Gemini can adjust system settings on any Pixel running Android 17

A new feature called Device Help, powered by Google's Gemini AI, has been made available on all Pixel phones running Android 17. This feature allows users to tell Gemini their desired outcome for their device, and Gemini will provide the relevant settings and even offer to make multiple changes at once with a single tap. Initially, this feature was exclusive to the Pixel 11 series, but now Google has clarified that it will be extended to other devices as well.

A recent video posted by Google's Minhaz A V on X demonstrates Device Help in action on a Pixel phone, where Gemini suggests settings to make the phone comfortable to use at night, such as enabling dark mode and adjusting screen brightness. The announcement suggests that this AI-powered tool will soon be available on a wider range of Pixel devices.
