Google’s Gemini AI Gets Almost Helpful, Still Won’t Press ‘Order’ for You
KEY POINTS
- •Google released its Gemini AI task automation feature starting on Pixel 10 and Samsung Galaxy S26 phones.
- •Gemini can prepare rideshare or DoorDash orders by opening app windows and proceeding step-by-step.
- •Users still must manually confirm or submit the final ride or meal order, maintaining human control.
Google’s shiny new Gemini AI, debuting on Pixel 10 and Samsung Galaxy S26 phones, now promises a near-magical power: it can arrange your Uber ride or carefully craft your DoorDash order. But before you toss your wallet to the winds, Gemini just preps your order inside a virtual app window and then politely asks you to click 'submit' yourself—because AI can’t just trust humans to be out of the loop yet. This ‘task automation’ gem is like having a personal assistant who does all the work except the one crucial click, safely leaving your precious $27.43 responsibility firmly grounded in your human hands. Now you can watch Gemini fumble through apps like 'Get me an Uber to the Palace of Fine Arts,' or wrest control, making it feel like you both got a front-row seat to very polite digital babysitting.

Google’s Gemini AI will gladly hustle through your Uber and DoorDash order — but insists you tap the final button because cross your circuits, no one mans the wallet but you.
Gemini AI is the perfect assistant: does all the hard work, then shouts ‘Your turn!’ like a three-legged race partner who actually counts on you to win.
Why pay a human assistant when Google’s Gemini lets you watch it almost do everything? It’s the middle child of AI—checklist worker, button presser’s shadow.
