Exclusive: Google’s hidden list of 134 apps that support Gemini task automation

Google has secretly compiled a list of 134 apps that support Gemini task automation on Android 17, according to Android Authority's exclusive report. Out of these, 114 apps are currently available on stable Android 17 QPR2, while an additional 20 test entries can be found on Android Canary 2611. For the task automation to work, these apps must be present on the allowlist and possess matching Play Store signing certificates.

Some regional Indian apps like Zomato and Blinkit are on the list, enabling their users to utilize the task automation feature, whereas unlisted competitors such as Swiggy and Zepto remain blocked from using Gemini's capabilities. However, merely being on the list doesn't guarantee that the app will function seamlessly with Gemini task automation. For instance, Microsoft Word and Outlook are listed but have yet to support in-app automation through Gemini.

Gemini's task automation feature, aimed at enhancing user productivity, is one of the notable innovations introduced by Google this year. It operates by opening the selected app on a virtual screen, simulating user actions such as tapping and navigating through the app, and halting just before the checkout process to allow the user to confirm their actions manually.

The technology initially launched in March with a modest selection of six apps, including ride-hailing services Lyft and Uber, food delivery platforms Grubhub and DoorDash, and several others, initially available on the Galaxy S26 series and later expanded to the Pixel 10 series.

In July, Google announced that support for Gemini task automation would be extended to over 40 popular apps, followed by its rollout to the UK, India, and Japan in the latest update. While Google hasn't divulged the complete list of 134 apps that work with Gemini, the company has emphasized its focus on the category of "everyday tasks," such as booking a ride, ordering food, or even managing daily activities.
