Quick answer
Google is testing new features in the Gemini app to accelerate access to the AI assistant Spark on mobile devices.
Google is further optimizing the mobile version of its Gemini app by introducing new tools for faster access to the AI assistant Spark. The latest test build (v17.54.10) includes experimental 'Chat' and 'Task' buttons, which will appear on the home screen.
Selecting 'Chat' mode allows users to interact with Gemini as usual, while switching to 'Task' automatically redirects requests to the Spark assistant, specialized in task execution. This change is expected to reduce mode-switching time and simplify app navigation.
Experts note that the new feature appears more convenient than the previously announced 'Assign Task' option. However, Google has not confirmed a release date, as the changes are still in testing. Some functions may be refined or even canceled before the official launch.
Previously, the Gemini app introduced experimental features like 'Assign Task,' which were never rolled out widely. This suggests Google carefully evaluates user feedback before finalizing updates.
