Users can now ask the Gemini AI assistant to remember the locations of specific items, such as passports or keys, by saving them in the hub. Additionally, an accessibility feature called Guided vision allows Gemini Live to describe objects in front of a user via the camera. Android 17 devices will also receive a Motion Assist tool designed to mitigate motion sickness during travel. Furthermore, Google is integrating Keep notes directly into the Messages app to facilitate shared task management.
