- New code in an Android Canary build corroborates previous leaks of a new on-device AI assistant, likely called Magic Cue.
- The assistant will proactively suggest info and actions relevant to what you’re doing on screen.
- Google is expected to debut the feature on the Pixel 10 series next month.
The Google Pixel 10 series is launching in a little over three weeks, but as usual, a lot of information has already leaked about it. We previously reported on one of its biggest new features: a powerful contextual AI assistant called Pixel Sense. Last month, alleged screenshots of the assistant were leaked, revealing it might launch under a different name. Whatever it’s called, it’s clear that Google is working on some kind of new AI assistant, and the latest Android Canary build corroborates this.
As we reported earlier this year, Pixel Sense is designed to use data from multiple Google apps and services — like Calendar, Chrome, Docs, Files, Gmail, Messages, Photos, and YouTube — to provide relevant, predictive suggestions. For example, the assistant could suggest places, products, or names right when you need them. It would also learn your usage patterns to help you complete tasks and routines faster and adapt to your interests by learning what topics are important to you. Pixel Sense would accomplish all of this while keeping your data fully on-device, ensuring it remains private.
