Google's Gemini Set to Enhance In-App Functionality

Google is developing a new API called "app functions" in Android 16, which could enable its Gemini Assistant to perform actions within apps, similar to Apple's "app intents" in iOS 18. This feature could allow users to perform tasks like ordering food directly through the assistant without opening specific apps. Both Google and Apple are working towards making their AI assistants more functional, with significant updates expected by 2025.
