In December 2023, reports emerged of Google working on a Gemini-powered AI called Pixie that would be more powerful and smarter than Assistant and Gemini. The AI assistant was rumored to launch alongside the Pixel 9 series in 2024, but that never happened. A new report provides fresh details on Google’s upcoming assistant, which is now expected to debut as “Pixel Sense” with the Pixel 10.

It’s time for Google to make a few simple tweaks
Pixel Sense will launch as an app on the Pixel 10, with Google touting it as “the most personalized experience based on the things you do on your Pixel.” So what will make the Pixel Sense special and more powerful than Gemini, which has replaced Google Assistant on Android?
The Android Authority report claims the AI assistant will use data from other Google apps and services, like Calendar, Chrome, Docs, Gmail, Keep, Maps, Messages, YouTube, YT Music, and Screenshots, to make more personalized suggestions.
Apart from this, Pixel Sense can process and pull relevant context from images, videos, and AI-generated content. Supposedly, like the Pixel Screenshots, the AI assistant can process “screenshots to identify metadata and learn from it. Use the Pixel Sense App to organize and search screenshots.”
While you can already find Gemini in almost all of Google’s apps and services, it cannot pull information from them to provide contextual suggestions.
Pixel Sense could use your data to provide contextual suggestions
The report also details how Google will market Pixel Sense to help elevate your Pixel 10 experience:
- “Personal predictive suggestions: Takes notes to suggests personal data like places, products, and names, right when you need them.”
- “Complete tasks faster: Learns how you use your phone to help you complete tasks and routines faster.”
- “Adapting to your interests: Learns which topics are important to you and keeps evolving with you.”
Google’s new AI assistant will presumably use Gemini Nano, which the company is using more and more to power its AI features on Android. It will apparently stand out for its ability to process your data on-device, ensuring your private information is not shared with Google’s servers.
As its rumored name suggests, Pixel Sense could be exclusive to the Pixel phones, helping distinguish them from other Android phones.
Could Pixel Sense finally deliver a smarter Google Now replacement, thanks to Gemini? Only time will tell.
