Gemini on Galaxy S26 Can Auto-Run Uber Rides and DoorDash Orders

Google's Gemini voice assistant can automate tasks in popular mobile apps (starting with Uber and food services like Uber Eats, DoorDash, or Grubhub) by opening apps, running actions in the background, and prompting for missing details before you confirm. The feature, in early preview, uses Model Context Protocol integrations or App Functions for backend automation, or falls back to navigating the app UI. Privacy controls are emphasized, with data not used for advertising and options to delete access. Availability begins on the Galaxy S26 in the US and South Korea from March 11, with a broader rollout to Pixel devices and more apps planned later this year.
