5. Relied on it to remember my room number for me.
Naturally at the end of the night, I forgot what my room number was when I returned to the hotel. Thankfully, earlier I’d told Gemini, “Remember my room number is 223.” I was all set — after I found my key card, of course.
6. Set up proactive reminders and updated my schedule.
I took the train back home to New York, where I noticed a poster for the upcoming ballet season. It’s something my friends and I looked forward to every year, but I’ve been busy and it slipped my mind. With luggage in hand, I quickly raised my wrist and asked Gemini to add all the upcoming New York City ballet shows with my favorite dancers to my calendar and remind me to coordinate buying tickets with my friends tomorrow at 9 a.m.
Gemini referenced my Personal Context details (a feature where you can add personal details or preferences to Gemini remembers them). It then searched for the upcoming show dates with the right dancers, added the events to my calendar and set a task for me — all from one request.
Looking back on my weekend, what strikes me most isn’t any single interaction with Gemini on my Pixel Watch 4. It’s the fact that I wasn’t glued to my phone. The best tools don’t try to run your life — they help you run it better.
