Gemini’s Scheduled Actions may offer AI task scheduling

Google is continuing its development of a feature now called Scheduled Actions, which appears to be a rebranded version of what was previously known as Scheduled Prompts. While the core functionality and interface remain largely unchanged, the feature has surfaced in both beta and stable builds of the Android app, according to reports from Android Authority. These sightings suggest that a public rollout could be on the horizon, though no official timeline has been confirmed.

Scheduled Actions would allow users to set up prompts in advance, enabling automation for tasks such as receiving daily AI news or generating images based on previous chats. This functionality mirrors the existing Tasks feature in ChatGPT and aims to support users looking to automate routine queries or creative workflows. If integrated successfully, it could help position Gemini as a more persistent digital assistant.

The feature has not yet been linked to any pricing tier, so it remains uncertain whether it will be exclusive to advanced subscribers. Given Google’s recent trend of rolling out AI features to both free and paid users, it’s possible this one may follow a similar path. However, the absence of any visible feature flags or internal announcements in the app’s code makes it unlikely to arrive within the next week.

This effort aligns with Google’s broader strategy to build out Gemini’s assistant capabilities beyond real-time responses. As AI-driven tools shift toward task-based utilities, Scheduled Actions could become part of a suite focused on user productivity and automation.
