Google Gemini AI could integrate deep with Samsung's stock apps

Over the past few months, Gemini, Google's new-generation AI assistant, has received many new features and integrations. Most of those integrations were with Google's own services. In the future, Google may plan to integrate Gemini with Samsung's stock apps.

Gemini could integrate deeply with Samsung's stock apps

Gemini could soon integrate with Samsung's stock apps that come pre-installed on Galaxy smartphones and tablets. The AndroidAuthority found that Google plans to use Android 16's App Functions feature to integrate Gemini with Samsung Calendar, Samsung Clock, Samsung Notes, and Samsung Reminders.

These clues were found by digging into the code of the Samsung Reminders app. The app's code contains references to the com.android.extensions.appfunctions library, as well as the app_functions.xml file.

Further digging into the XML file revealed that Google's Gemini would be able to perform several functions through Samsung's stock apps. Those functions are listed below.

Samsung Clock

Create/delete/find/update/show alarms
Start/stop/rest stopwatch
Create/delete/find/update/show timers

Samsung Notes

Create/delete/find/update note folder
Create/delete/find/update/show notes

Samsung Reminder

Create/delete/find/update/show task categories
Create/delete/find/update/show tasks

Samsung Calendar

Create/delete/find/update/show events

Since these integrations and features appear to be tied to Android's App Functions feature, we will likely see them only with the Android 16-based One UI 8.0 update some time next year. Until then, you can watch all the new features that come with the One UI 7.0 update in the video below.
