Gemini is set to take flight on your phone with its proactive capabilities.

      Google I/O is approaching, and with The Android Show concluded, attention is increasingly focused on the company’s AI goals, particularly Gemini. Although no formal announcements have been made yet, a recent leak offers a preliminary look at what Google might be developing.

      Prepare for Gemini to overshadow your inbox more than spam

      A post from Waguri_Kaoruko8 on X allegedly presents a feature called the “Gemini Spark Model,” which includes a new Agent or Chat Mode designed for more sophisticated tool-based tasks. This suggests Google is aiming to evolve Gemini into a true AI assistant that takes care of tedious digital tasks for users.

      The AI News testing catalog account later shared the leak, indicating that there seems to be no current support for importing SKILL MD files directly. Users may need to rely on the traditional copy-paste method for the time being. Additionally, the post notes that there’s no indication of browser control or comprehensive computer-use capabilities yet — two features many users hope will be available as AI agents become more advanced. However, the screenshots that surfaced provide some intriguing details.

      According to the leaked interface, the Gemini Spark Model — marked as beta — appears to emphasize automation and personalization. One feature reportedly can tidy up your inbox by summarizing newsletters, archiving unnecessary emails, and even unsubscribing from mailing lists automatically. Another tool may generate meeting summaries by gathering essential information and quick overviews ahead of significant calls or appointments. There is also a tailored news digest capability intended to focus on the stories you truly care about, rather than inundating you with unrelated headlines throughout the day.

      This approach suggests Google is steering Gemini toward functioning as a seamless productivity tool instead of merely an AI to ask questions occasionally. This direction seems quite logical.

      Google could be developing a customizable AI workflow system

      The leak also hints that users might be able to create personalized “skills” for Gemini. The process reportedly involves naming the skill, describing its function, and providing instructions for how Gemini should operate. It's similar to building miniature AI workflows without needing to code.

      It is essential to temper expectations, as none of this is confirmed yet, and leaks tend to circulate quickly during the Google I/O period. Nonetheless, the timing adds an element of interest. With Google likely to fully showcase Gemini at I/O next week, there’s a genuine possibility that we could see some of these features officially revealed soon.

      AI shouldn’t make decisions for you, but this one will alert you when you’re heading towards a poor choice

      Researchers at Cornell University have developed an AI tool called Interactive Explainable Ranking (IER) that assists individuals when faced with overwhelming options by highlighting when their choices conflict with their core values, rather than making decisions on their behalf.

      How does this tool work?

      Ultra-thin transparent solar cells could enable invisible charging for wearables, cars, and homes

      Innovative near-invisible solar cells might allow ordinary glass surfaces to produce electricity, potentially including car windows, sunroofs, smart glasses, wearables, building facades, and home windows.

      Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, have created ultrathin transparent perovskite solar cells that measure approximately 10,000 times thinner than a human hair and around 50 times thinner than traditional perovskite solar cells. The research team, led by Associate Professor Annalisa Bruno, shared their findings in ACS Energy Letters (via TechXplore).

      Edge mobile browser receives a significant upgrade, making it a competitive alternative to Chrome

      While Chrome remains the default for many smartphone users, the latest update to Microsoft’s Edge browser offers compelling reasons to consider switching. Microsoft has unveiled a comprehensive Copilot update for Edge on both desktop and mobile platforms. This announcement arrives just ahead of Google’s anticipated Gemini-enhanced Chrome upgrade for Android, which is set for release in June, providing Edge an opportunity to differentiate itself on mobile devices before Chrome’s next major AI initiative.
