5. Relied on it to recall my room number.

At the end of the night, I found myself struggling to remember my room number when I returned to the hotel. Fortunately, I had previously informed Gemini, “Remember, my room number is 223.” This proved to be a lifesaver, especially after I managed to locate my key card.

6. Established proactive reminders and updated my schedule.

During my train ride back to New York, I came across a poster advertising the upcoming ballet season. Although my friends and I always look forward to it, this year it had slipped my mind due to my busy schedule. With my luggage in hand, I promptly asked Gemini to add the upcoming New York City ballet shows featuring my favorite dancers to my calendar and remind me to coordinate ticket purchases with my friends the following day at 9 a.m.

Gemini utilized my Personal Context details (a feature that allows you to add personal preferences or details for Gemini to remember). It then proceeded to search for the upcoming show dates with the correct dancers, added the events to my calendar, and set a task for me – all from a single request.

Reflecting on my weekend, what stands out the most isn’t any individual interaction with Gemini on my Pixel Watch 4. Rather, it’s the fact that I wasn’t constantly checking my phone. The most effective tools don’t attempt to control your life; instead, they assist you in managing it more efficiently.
