- Google is working on a version of the “Pixie” assistant that was reported on back in 2023 for the Pixel 10.
- Dubbed “Pixel Sense,” the new app will use data from multiple Google apps and services to provide contextual predictions.
- All the processing will take place completely on-device.
For the longest time, Google has always dreamt of a truly smart and contextual assistant. Unfortunately, its initial attempts, such as the “new” Google Assistant and the canceled version of “At A Glance,” have failed, but a report from 2023 indicated it was not done trying. The rumored “Pixie” was supposed to be an on-device assistant for Google Pixels, which would use data from other Google services to be truly a smart helper. It was supposed to launch alongside the Pixel 9, however we haven’t heard anything about it since the initial report.
This changes now, as thanks to a source inside Google, Android Authority has learned that Google intends to launch a version of “Pixie” on the Pixel 10, but under a new moniker. Say hello to Pixel Sense.
