Gemini gets scheduled actions, bringing it closer to becoming your daily personal assistant

Google is continuing to refine its vision of Gemini as a “personal, proactive, and powerful” AI assistant, and its latest upgrade takes that idea one step further. Now, Gemini is getting support for scheduled actions, a move that could change how users rely on AI for daily routines.

Google Gemini: Things just got easier

The concept is straightforward – you type a natural language prompt, say, “Show me the stock price of Tesla at 9 AM,” or “Give me a summary of unread emails every morning”, and Gemini will do exactly that, automatically. It’s not just limited to productivity either. You can schedule actions to get a daily summary of your calendar, receive sports updates on your favourite team, or keep track of an athlete’s performance, all without needing to remember to ask.

The feature is now rolling out for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers, with select Google Workspace business and education plans also included in the first wave. Scheduled tasks will be neatly organised in a new ‘Scheduled Actions’ settings page inside Gemini, giving users control over what’s set to trigger, and when.

In a broader context, this brings Gemini a little closer to matching what other AI assistants have been offering. Earlier this year, ChatGPT added support for scheduled tasks and reminders. Combined with memory and the new Agent mode, scheduled actions in Gemini show Google’s intent to bring feature parity, and maybe even push ahead.

At I/O 2025, Google confirmed that Gemini now has over 400 million monthly active users, compared to ChatGPT’s 600 million. As both AI platforms evolve rapidly, scheduled actions could be a key tool in making assistants truly hands-free, and genuinely helpful.
